In 2008, I expect new product launches and innovation in the window and door industry...
...to decrease, as companies try to trim expenses and focus on core competencies.
...to slow, because builders and consumers aren't paying for innovation in a down market.
...to increase, as companies try to stand apart from the crowd in a tight market.
...to vary, by segment—a bit more in the upper-end product lines.
...to remain about the same.
