Overall, Heidelberg sees the general conditions for the printing industry as stable in the current financial year: The market in which the company operates is robust, and the global print production volume will remain constant or increase slightly. Heidelberg therefore anticipates that global demand for printing presses and consumables will develop accordingly. In light of this, the company is assuming that sales will match the level of the year under review in the 2013/2014 financial year. As in the previous year, Heidelberg forecasts that the share of sales will again be significantly higher in the second half of the year.
