Which segments are driving demand today?

Commercial developments and high rise residential continue to form a significant part of new installations, particularly in urban markets where density is increasing. At the same time, infrastructure is a strong growth driver. Metro, railway stations and airports operate at a very different scale, where systems are expected to handle high traffic with consistent reliability. Our order mix reflects a healthy balance between real estate and infrastructure projects, with infrastructure steadily increasing in share.

What has been the impact of the current geopolitical uncertainty on business?

There have been pressures, particularly around electronics and controller components, but the response has been to build resilience rather than react to short term disruptions.
