P
reliminary data from the CE Plant Cost Index (CEPCI; top)
for October 2012 (the most recent available) indicate that
capital equipment prices dropped 0.35% from September
to October. The current-year plant cost index is 3.2% lower
than it was in October of the previous year (2011). Within the
CEPCI, most of the equipment-class subgroups were down from
a year prior including: heat exchangers and tanks; process
machinery; pipes, valves and fittings; process instruments;
and structural supports and miscellanous equipment. Pumps
and compressors and electrical equipment show higher values
compared to a year ago. The construction labor and engineer-
ing and supervision indexes also dropped compared to a year
ago, while the buildings index edged higher compared to the
same time in 2011. Meanwhile, the Current Business Indica-
tors from IHS Global Insight (middle), show a slight increase
in the CPI output index from October to November 2012, and
a 1.1% increase in the CPI value of output over the same time
period. Industrial chemical producer prices are down 0.81%
from October to November 2012, and down 6.1% compared
to November a year ago.
