SUGAR LAND, TX--(Marketwire - Sep 26, 2012) - Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas) -- Grassroot spending has always been an important component of the total spending in Canada. While there has been a significant uptick in the purchasing of closed plants for renovations and upgrades to begin operations on new products, grassroot spending has remained strong in 2012. Canada has seen a significant increase in this type of spending in 2012. Last year saw $12.5 billion worth of grassroot project activity, but the country has managed to surpass that total through nine months of 2012. With a significant amount of grassroot work planned for the final quarter of the year, Canada will have no problem raising the bar, possibly even doubling or tripling 2011's grassroot project activity.
