OPPORTUNITIES
Additive manufacturing
Manufacturers of hardware, software, and materials related to additive manufacturing are positioned for a breakout year. Biden recently announced an initiative called the AM Forward (Additive Manufacturing Forward) Program, a partnership between several large U.S. original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and some of their small and medium enterprise (SME) suppliers to help speed up their adoption of additive manufacturing technology and upgrade their capabilities.
- Learn more about Biden’s AM Forward program created to foster adoption of additive manufacturing and comprehensive insights surrounding the additive manufacturing industry.
- Use this angle: As the Additive Manufacturing sector is heating up with increasing support from Washington, focus on how products like Manufacturing Cloud can provide increased visibility and improved predictability.
Small bay warehousing
With a surging e-commerce industry driven by the pandemic, small bay warehousing is an alternative to industrial warehousing. Adopting smaller warehouses allows for facility placement in populous hubs, solving a problem that has plagued the industry for years; facilitating on-demand and local delivery.
- Learn more about the case for small bay warehousing with a comprehensive overview of the market characteristics and size, economic indicators, and more.
- Use this angle: As small-bay warehousing continues to increase in demand, focus on how Salesforce can offer clients enhanced visibility into warehouse supply, detailed privacy customizations when it comes to authorized users, and unlimited possibilities related to improving the sales process.
Demolition contractors
As reputable demolition contractors become increasingly in demand, the need for skilled project teams is rising. As the industry is projected to see a CAGR growth of 4.9% between 2022 and 2027, standards of safety and environmental priority must be maintained. As demolition contractors continue to invest in skilled people in order to cultivate a high level of standards, the industry will see ramped-up growth that can only be sustained through Salesforce.
- Learn more about the demolition market and key demolition trends to look out for in 2022.
- Use this angle: Focus on how Salesforce can help companies create a detailed hiring process, create a source of truth for all key project data, and establish thorough internal communication standards to ensure nothing slips through the cracks.
