Current electroindustry business conditions have improved, according to the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA), which recorded a score of 63.3 for its Electroindustry Business Conditions Index (EBCI) in November 2021.

The future conditions component of the index (6 months from now) was less optimistic, with a score of 53.3.
