Investment—Growth in investment spending on information technology equipment has decelerated but remains healthy in both Canada and the United States. The sub-prime credit crunch has yet to hamper spending on computers and electronic products.
Dollar—The Canadian dollar continues to soar after a brief respite in the winter of 2007. The strong dollar is leading to lower prices for the industry, while simultaneously increasing import competition and making Canadian exports less cost competitive.
Falling Prices—Price depreciation will keep challenging the industry’s profitability throughout the forecast period.
