All the Business Units are growing, driven by the challenge of decarbonizing transportation, which supports:
- Rail (train, tramway, subway) expected to grow by 5% per year through 2029 to reach a total of $64 billion. The market is driven by increased use of mass transit and driver training on simulators.
- Air transport with the objective of carbon neutrality by 2050. This challenge will be made possible by the use of new fuels (hydrogen, electric, SAF) which require numerous technological innovations in terms of mass, storage, thermal management, new propulsion systems, etc. Commercial aviation is expected to grow by 7% per year over the period 2023-2028.
Perspectives
SOGECLAIR is confident in its growth forecast at least at the level of its markets for 2023 and beyond until the end of the decade, driven by the market dynamics and by its offers in:
- Simulation which saves millions of kilometers for the development of new vehicles and for driver training,
- Engineering expertise and innovative materials (thermoplastics, additive manufacturing, etc.) to make vehicles lighter and offer new technologies.
The detachment of the coupon of €0.90 per share will take place on 15 May 2023 and the dividend will be paid on 17 May 2023.
