USMTO
The latest data and analysis on the U.S. manufacturing technology market.
U.S. Manufacturing Technology Orders (USMTO) is a statistical program administered by AMT that collects data on the demand for manufacturing technology in the United States, Mexico, and Canada. USMTO covers 229 unique manufacturing technologies. Companies who manufacture or sell any of those products can track demand and calculate their market share by geographic area, technology, and customer industry in exchange for contributing their monthly order information. Public data is released the second Monday of every month in the USMTO press release, but the most granular data is only available to participating companies.
USMTO Press Releases
The monthly USMTO press release is based on the totals of actual data companies participating in the USMTO program. This report, compiled by AMT, provides regional and national U.S. orders data of domestic and imported machine tools and related equipment. Analysis of manufacturing technology orders provides a reliable leading economic indicator as manufacturing industries invest in capital metalworking equipment to increase capacity and improve productivity.
Data Available to Survey Participants
Participants can access data in two locations: USMTO.com and MTInsight.org. The USMTO Reports are static reports that contain the dollar value of machinery sold. MTInsight reports are dynamic and customizable but contain unit counts only. If you have any questions about the data you can receive as a participant or would like a sample, please contact Chris Chidzik at cchidzik@AMTonline.org.
