Outlook

The KION Group has made a good start to 2025 in line with its expectations. Nevertheless, economic conditions are still subject to significant uncertainty. The intensifying international trade dispute is exacerbating geopolitical risks and their potential adverse impacts on the KION Group’s value chain and markets.

In recent years, the KION Group has steadily increased its capacity in production, research and development, and across the sales and service networks, especially in the APAC region and the Americas, in order to be better prepared for this kind of geopolitical scenario. As at the reporting date, the Executive Board of KION GROUP AG thus confirms the target figures for 2025 that it had published in the outlook section of the 2024 annual report for the Group and the two operating segments.

However, this assessment of the projected performance of the Group and its operating segments is contingent on the macroeconomic conditions not deteriorating significantly.
