Outlook 2024

For the business year 2024, EMS is expecting the difficult economic environment to continue. In particular, the first half-year may remain moderate due to the persistently dampened consumer mood in the main markets Europe and China. Current geopolitical conflicts are causing freight costs, and therefore inflation, to rise again.

EMS is confident about its own business prospects in international markets. The distinct strategy of specialties and system solutions, enabling customers to achieve cost and weight savings while reducing CO2 emissions and providing them with technologically leading solutions, will now be strengthened and followed even more resolutely. The excellent market position will be made use of to fully and rapidly utilize existing opportunities and achieve disproportional growth.

For 2024, EMS expects net sales at the previous year's level and net operating income (EBIT) slightly higher than in the previous year.
