It shows that our broad positioning with different divisions is a great advantage and that we have set the right course with our structural adjustments».

What is likely to affect the next Bosch Rexroth revenue?

Bosch Rexroth expects business to decline in all regions and sectors in the current fiscal year 2020 due to the general economic weakness and the structural change in customer sectors closely linked to the automotive industry. Order intake declined by 20.3 percent in the course of 2019.

Additionally,the global COVID-19 pandemic is currently clouding business expectations for 2020. Hence, the systematic implementation of measures to improve competitiveness in all areas is particularly important for Bosch Rexroth.
