British Factories Struggle to Meet Demands According to Confederation of British Industry (CBI)

London, UK -- (SBWire) -- 12/24/2021 --The latest snapshot of activity from the Confederation of British Industry (CBI) has shown that British factories are currently struggling to meet the demand for goods. Heightened inflationary pressure alongside spikes in demand that are some of the strongest in decades mean that there are serious challenges in the manufacturing sector. Almost half of firms said that order books were above normal and export order books are now at the strongest they have been since 2019. Some production has increased to meet these new pressures - output is up at 38% of firms, according to the CBI - but many have not been able to achieve this uplift and 21% recorded a decline. Intensive supply side challenges are one of the reasons why many firms are struggling right now. Stock adequacy is currently the weakest on record and substantial costs are already being passed on to customers.
