Electronics Activity Analysis

Despite stability in certain segments like Home & Building Automation Systems, other areas faced more pronounced declines.

However, the decline saw some mitigation with a softer downturn compared to earlier in the year.
Environment Sector Growth
On a positive note, the Environment sector achieved strong results with a revenue of €35.0 million in Q3, marking a significant growth of 19.7%.
