SCHMID Group Update on Order Situation and Market Development in 2025
May 22, 2025 | SCHMID GroupEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Following a challenging year in 2024, which was particularly affected by the ongoing trade conflict between the USA and China, the SCHMID Group is now experiencing a welcome turnaround. Incoming orders are currently within the expected range, confirming the positive market trend that began to emerge at the end of 2024.
A key driver of this development is the dynamic growth in the AI server segment. Increasing market interest and rising demand in this area are leading to a significant surge in volume. Current assessments suggest that this trend will continue and intensify throughout the remainder of 2025 and into 2026 – offering SCHMID a promising outlook.
“The current market signals clearly show that our strategic realignment is bearing fruit,” says Christian Schmid, CEO of the SCHMID Group. “The situation is visibly stabilizing – and we are seizing the opportunities provided by technological advancements, particularly in the field of artificial intelligence.”
At the same time, SCHMID is responding to ongoing global challenges resulting from the trade conflict, which continues to be viewed as a medium- to long-term influencing factor. The company is currently evaluating several strategic and financial partnership opportunities to further strengthen its market position in key regions and to dynamically expand growth through targeted collaborations.
“Our goal is to ensure long-term competitiveness and enable sustainable growth,” Christian Schmid continues. “We expect to make timely decisions on these cooperation initiatives in order to seize the opportunities at hand swiftly and effectively.”
The SCHMID Group looks ahead with confidence to the coming months and years.
A combination of clear strategic direction and favorable market trends provides a strong foundation for a sustainable growth trajectory.
