Industrials World of Work Outlook

The global industrials sector includes everything from manufacturing and distribution of capital goods for aerospace and defence, building products, electrical equipment, machinery, to construction and engineering services. It is a sector that leverages significant capital investment, cutting-edge innovation, and complex global supply chains to literally build the foundations of the modern global economy.

Although this industry is accustomed to change, the pace has significantly accelerated since 2020.
