Summary for plating industry Discussion
plating industry planning centers on cost, customers, and waste control. In the question, the poster says plating business opportunities look good in their country and asks what the major considerations are before starting a plating business, noting that electroplating is the topic of a master’s thesis. Ted Mooney frames the issue as a practical business question. Marlon L. Cordez gives the clearest answer: first, it is very expensive to start a plating business; second, it is hard to find potential customers; third, waste control is critical; and fourth, technical know-how matters. He emphasizes waste control three times, underscoring how important environmental management is in plating operations. The overall takeaway is that success depends less on the idea of plating itself and more on capital, customer access, compliance, and technical capability.

My Question: what is 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.
