It’s time to invest.
According to our 21st Annual Quality Spending Survey, respondents are interested in purchasing new equipment, software and services now.
Last year at this time, respondents were worried about family members contracting COVID-19 as well as about the current economy. Those fears have declined this year.
While respondents plan to invest similar amounts across the categories of quality equipment, software and services, their concerns have changed. This survey’s respondents were less concerned about contracting COVID-19 and more concerned about the supply chain disruptions, for example.
Clear Seas Research, in conjunction with Quality, conducted the 21st Annual Spending Study to provide information on the spending for capital equipment, software and services. The survey was done to examine actual spending vs. projected for quality assurance equipment, systems, software and services. We also wanted to determine the change in quality professionals’ approach to quality today as compared to a year ago as well as the change in allocation of budget within specific categories of quality equipment and services. As with so many things, timing is everything. The survey was fielded September 30 to October 7, 2021.
Let’s take a look at what your peers are purchasing and planning to purchase, when they will do so, and why.
