AIM companies set to grow despite drop in e-commerce

The findings of the annual PKF AIM Survey 2002 point towards increased growth. Of the 231 AIM chairmen and chief executives interviewed for the survey, entitled ‘Perceptions of a maturing market’, 90% are expecting growth over the next 12 months despite the recent decline in world trade. Specialisation was cited by more than 40% as the best route to growth whilst e-commerce dropped dramatically from 53% in 2000 to only 13%. Interestingly, only 18% of the respondents to the 2002 survey were in technology, compared to 33% of those to the 2000 survey. 85% of the respondents are satisfied that AIM has met or exceeded their expectations and the major concern amongst the group interviewed appears to be the lack of liquidity in the after-market.
