Exports, export orders, and production all showed double-digit year-on-year growth in February, thanks to a continued recovery in the global economy, and manufacturers were optimistic about the next six months, the report said.
The think tank uses a five-color system to measure the industry's health, with red indicating a boom, yellow-red suggesting an uptrend, green indicating a stable state, yellow-blue signaling a slowdown, and blue representing a contraction.
