August 2010 -
I attended a webinar hosted by the MPSA. The subject matter included a quick synopsis of the MPS industry by InfoTrends and a future view of the MPSA and how our members can contribute to the growth of the Association.
Jim Fitzpatrick, MPSA President presented very well.
The "state of the industry" provided by InfoTrends was great and relevant - unfortunately for me, nothing new.
A re-occurring theme was exposed - the cannibalization of our industry.
Randy, from InfoTrends, observed the "eroding of the supplies market..." and that there is no "real expansion in the market..."
More poignantly, we are "cannibalizing the market".
Randy and others are half right.
