The new year is approaching fast. Got a plan? You need a roadmap. And fortunately, you can still buy the entire Ashton Report 2026 E&S Market Forecast package including all the PowerPoints and access to video recordings of all the presentations.
The forecast provides in-depth analysis and an overview of trends driving the foodservice equipment and supplies market as we close in on 2027. It includes our hard-number forecasts of E&S industry growth for 2026 and 2027-2031 and lots more.
Our guest speakers address issues including operator trends, materials pricing trends, logistics and supply chain trends. Parts Town’s Colten Kohler offers insights into how its initiatives help operators avoid costly equipment downtime. David Henkes from Technomic spoke on US operator trends; Mike Posternak from MAFSI and Joe Grabowski from R.W. Baird presented their lastest E&S market metrics; Nichole Bastin from MetalMiner provided an in-depth look at metal prices including forecasts of potential movement next year; consultant Peter Backman from the UK addressed UK operator trends and trends in the global delivery market; and David Wasserman of SPG Inc. spoke on why freight rates and logistics costs are soaring and how tariffs are affecting the US market. Not least John Muldowney, my forecast partner since 2000, once again lent his insight.
