OUTLOOK

The home motors and automation market remains structurally buoyant as a result of growing consumer demand for comfort and security, and growing public awareness of energy and environmental challenges. A short-term slowdown cannot however be ruled out, on account of economic uncertainties and geopolitical risks throughout the world. The investment effort will be maintained, and even intensified should the context allow it, to enable the Group to consolidate its base and its leadership. It will specifically focus on product innovation, streamlining information systems, with the rollout of an ERP over the course of the year, and digitalising organisations and processes. The policy of developing partnerships with complementary players and the opening up of new ecosystems and protocols (ZigBee network) will also be pursued. This will form part of the commitment to offering “integrated” solutions based on proprietary protocols, while simultaneously continuing to digitalise the historical activities, and will help position the Group as an industry standard for the connected home.
