How Your Business Can Navigate Through the 2024 Recession
ITR Economics is forecasting that a mild industrial sector downturn will begin toward the end of 2023 and continue through 2024. However, it is important to note that industries do not necessarily go through the same phases of the business cycle at the same times.
Our Trends 10 summary below shows you where in the business cycle the various industries are.
ITR Trends 10
Published July 10, 2023
The best way to visualize the trajectory of each major industry in the Trends 10 graph is to think of each industry as a railcar on a train.
This is important – an ITR economist may state that US Industrial Production will be in recession during much of 2024, but your industry/railcar may be in Phase C, Slowing Growth, at that time, and the recession phase may come later (or possibly not at all).

We can help you identify your business’s place and industry’s place in the business cycle with our EVP programs. An ITR economist will run a timing analysis of your company’s data, and you will receive an expert projection that will tell you both when your business will feel the impact from the economic downturn and how severe that impact will be. You will also receive clear forecasts and a roadmap to help you plan ahead for what is to come.
Your business plan may be great, but, without accurate forecasts and data, it may lack the proper timing. Contact us at ITR Economics today – we become an extension of your team and provide you with the valuable insight that will help you prepare for and thrive through the coming recession.
