Industry outlook
XP supplies four end-markets: healthcare, industrial electronics, semiconductors and technology, across Europe, North America and Asia. The industrial electronics segment is relatively fragmented, but the company sees demand across various applications. The healthcare business continues to gain market share, with corporate approvals from the major suppliers in place. The semiconductor segment is the most cyclical, tracking the capex requirements of semiconductor manufacturers.
