Top 3 trends you foresee in 2024 for the machinery & equipment suppliers’ sector?

2024 will be a year of continuous transformation and the suppliers will invest into digitalization, use of AI and cloud services. The suppliers will develop their portfolio using interconnected machinery and equipment. The introduction and/or availability of digital/remote services will be more seen into the suppliers’ proposals. On the other hand, the market and the customers are looking for new solutions that will allow them to differentiate themselves in a very competitive market.

Main challenges and opportunities in 2024?

2024 is coming with economic challenges and market uncertainty.
