AUTOMOTIVE SECTOR TRENDS

  • The automotive industry was facing major challenges around the world: electrification, autonomous drive and new ownership business models.
  • The impact of Covid-19 struck very hard, with sales in Europe down 70-80 % in March/April 2020.
  • January to July 2020: new passenger vehicle registrations were down around a fifth in China, Japan, and the USA, and weaker by more than a third in Europe, India, and Brazil. However, in July 2020, there were clear signs of some recovery in the major car markets in the world. In China, new car sales increased for the third consecutive month. In Europe, the USA, Japan, and India, new car sales were still weaker but the markets were noticeably stronger than during previous months.

AUTOMOTIVE SECTOR OUTLOOK

  • The car industry is expected to recover in the medium term.
  • The pandemic could have eventually a positive impact towards a shift from public transportation to private vehicles.
  • Hot stamping market: increasing use of hot-stamped components to achieve light weighting while also strengthening them (door rings, bumpers, roof rails, and chassis). Hot stamped parts can only be refined with laser technology (no mechanical tools)
  • 3D laser cutting of hot stamped parts is the main application of Prima 3D laser machines and can apply to both fuel and electric vehicles
  • Forecast growth of the hot stamping market was 11% (source: Roland Berger).

AERO & SPACE MARKET TRENDS

  • • Before the Covid-19 pandemic, the aerospace industry was expected to continue its growth trajectory with commercial aircraft production and strong defense spending.
  • • The pandemic hit hard on the civil aerospace: global air traffic has been brought to an almost complete standstill by the COVID-19 outbreak.
  • • While there have been other instances of significant drops in air traffic in the past, they have generally been regional. Never have we seen a sustained global collapse of air traffic as we're seeing now because of the travel restrictions necessitated by COVID-19. International passenger demand in April fell 80% year-over-year, according to the International Air Transport Association. Every region across the world has seen doubledigit percentage declines in traffic, with most airlines experiencing capacity reductions up to 95%.

AERO & SPACE MARKET TRENDS

  • • Defense aerospace and space economy instead appear to be resilient to the crisis.
  • •Satellite broadband will represent 50% of the projected growth of the global space economy by 2040,
  • • Launching satellites that offer broadband Internet service will help to drive down the cost of data, just as demand for that data explodes (driven by autonomous cars, IoT, A.I., VR, video,..)

Heating equipment

Heating equipment is an essential part of warming and keeping buildings in a particular temperature.

Ventilation equipment

The goal of ventilation process is to replace indoor air with fresh air and control the moisture. It also helps in maintaining the internal temperature, delivers oxygen while preventing the entry of dust and contaminants.

Cooling equipment

Cooling systems are used to lower the temperature and to control humidity. Cooling equipment is segmented into unitary air conditioners, VRF systems, chillers, room air conditioners, coolers, and cooling towers

Drivers

  • Environmental sustainability
  • Population growth
  • People moving to cities
  • Customer demands
  • Global warming
  • Technology improvements

PROPRIETARY FIBER LASER TECHNOLOGY

  • According to external research (Strategies Unlimited) this sector is expected to grow with an overall CAGR of 5.3% and this includes not only industrial applications but also many other markets that represent an opportunity for Prima (e.g: medical applications).
  • Convergent product aligned to the performances of market leader product.
  • Vertical company: all the laser components are produced in home with very few elements purchased externally (active fiber and low-tech components), with a strong control of the technologies used. This also made it possible to obtain competitive costs even with volumes significantly lower than competitors, allowing us to look optimistically at the competitiveness that is expected to improve in the future thanks to the growth in production volumes.
  • High efficiency diodes state of the art: this sector could represent an additional stand alone market (expected growth rate: doubling volumes between 2017 and 2023).

We are one out of a dozen companies only controlling this technology worldwide

27

ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING

  • Since several years Prima Industrie is investing in Additive Manufacturing (AM) technologies, leveraging on internal know-how on fiber laser.
  • Prima Industrie is one of the few competitors investing in this technology which is expected to further boom in the next years (see next slide).
  • PA is active on both main AM technologies:

    • Powder Bed Fusion
  • Direct Energy Deposition

  • In 2019 AM contribution to Prima Group revenues was still marginal (approx. 2% ) but expected to substantially grow in the next years.
  • PA exhibited for the first time at Formnext 2019 in November in Frankfurt (main AM world exhibition).
  • A set of new products is currently being introduced to the market.

AM Metal Systems sales Revenue Overview

In 2019 the units of metal AM systems sold grew by 1,3% to 2,327.

Revenue Potential Growth

The metal AM market is expected to have a 25% CAGR up to \$4,6 billion. The revenue related to the sale of systems will cover about 53% of the total revenue and will growth up to \$ 2,44 billion.

Circular Economy

31

The Prima Additive approach is inspired by the Circular Economy vision as the strategic mean to fully exploit the value of Additive.

Less material used compared to traditional manufacturing methods

Design strategies for extending product lifecycle

Possibility to repair parts to return a used product to its original performance

Possibility to add custom parts to existing pieces to add further value without producing new parts

Recycling

of powders to close the material loop In a circular economy, the value of products and materials is maintained for as long as possible. Waste and resource use are minimized, and when a product reaches the end of its life, it is used again to create further value. This can bring major economic benefits.
