- +19% passenger growth in Feb YTD; +10% passenger growth expected in 2024 2
Filament
26%
1st sequential improvement since 2022
- Filament orders supported by sequential improvement
- Some initial signs of revitalization in small and mid-sized orders
- Underlying need for filament equipment intact; equipment market CAGR 01-22 of +4%
Non-Filament
18%
Soft PMIs; car launches reaccelerated
- Soft PMIs impacting broadly diversified geographies and end markets
- Some customers delaying investments, e.g. in nonwoven, staple fiber and industrial yarns applications
- Flow Control benefiting from reacceleration of car launches towards end of Q1
