The COVID-19 outbreak is now travelling around the world, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake. This report discusses the impact of the virus on leading companies in the industrial automation sector.

The report analyzes the impact of COVID-19 on the global industrial automation sector. It identifies those companies that may benefit from the impact of COVID-19 over a 12-month period, as well as those companies that will lose out. It includes a thematic screen, that ranks the 58 leading companies in this sector on the basis of overall leadership in the 10 themes that matter most to their industry, including COVID-19. This generates a leading indicator of future performance.

Key Highlights

    --  Industrial automation was not in a great place before COVID-19 struck,
        having been slowed by flat capital expenditure and declining industrial
        production.
    --  The virus has since closed factories, with workers across the world sent
        home. It has exposed the fact that, despite a lot of hype over the
        years, advanced factory automation has not been substituted for human
        workers at scale.
    --  The virus may serve to accelerate investment in factory automation when
        the global economy eventually rebounds, but that will take a while.

Reasons to Buy

    --  COVID-19 is by far the most significant theme to affect the technology
        industry in 2020.
    --  It is effectively a stress test on companies' ability to cope with
        extreme shocks.
    --  COVID-19 will test the financial robustness of companies. Many companies
        will not survive this initial phase.
    --  Almost all others will suffer a significant drop in revenues.
    --  This report will help you understand the impact of COVID-19 on the
        industrial automation sector and identify which types of companies could
        potentially benefit from the impact of COVID-19, as well as those
