What is the major consideration for plating industry

A. I personally feel that the biggest issue facing the plating industry of the future--whether in the developed world or the developing world--is the ongoing rapid collapse of the educational infrastructure including associations, societies, journals, magazines, textbooks, reference works, conferences, educational courses, local meetings, funded research, etc. In short, almost every tool one uses to educate himself. Counter to this trend, the internet is growing, and taking up a bit of the slack. But the internet, as much as many of us love it, is and probably will remain for the foreseeable future a very poor substitute for these other pieces of the educational infrastructure.

What factors are causing this problem and how they can be repulsed is, of course, a far more difficult question.

A. First, it is very expensive to start a plating business. Second it is very hard to find a potential customer. Third waste control, waste control, waste control. Fourth technical knowhow. Every thing follows next.
