Demand for industrial controls increased modestly during the third quarter of 2009, with NEMA’s Primary Industrial Controls Index rising 1.6 percent versus the April-to-June period. While this represented the first quarter-to-quarter gain since the second quarter of 2008 for the index, published by the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA), Rosslyn, Va., shipments remain at a very low level, with the index still more than 30 percent below the third quarter of 2008. A broader measure of industrial controls demand, the Primary Industrial Controls and Adjustable Speed Drives Index, posted a 0.9 percent increase over the second quarter of 2009, but also continues to reflect lackluster demand with a 29.5 percent decline on a year-over-year basis.
