"While 40% of respondents expect their revenues to improve compared to last year, 48% see revenues decreasing, and 12% expect no change," the report said. "In contrast, last year's survey results were much more optimistic: 80% of respondents indicated revenue expectations would be slightly to significantly better than the prior year.
