- U.S. Economy—Exports account for less than one-fifth of industry revenues, but nearly all of those exports are destined for the United States. The U.S. recession is leading to falling exports.
- Construction Activity—Both non-residential and residential construction activity will be weaker in the near term.
- Energy Prices—The industry is energy intensive; and falling energy prices, particularly for coal and natural gas, are a boon.
