ABB Ltd’s Process Automation segment reported a 23% increase in orders and a 5% rise in revenues year-over-year for Q1 2025. The segment’s order backlog reached $8.1 billion, up from $7.4 billion in Q4 2024, driven by strong project activity in marine, ports, and energy industries. However, demand is sluggish in chemicals, pulp & paper, and mining sectors due to global trade uncertainties.
In comparison, Eaton Corporation’s Electrical Americas segment posted $3.01 billion in net sales for Q1 2025, an 11.9% increase from the previous year, with a 6% increase in backlog. Emerson Electric’s Software and Control Automation Solutions segment recorded $1.42 billion in Q2 fiscal 2025 net sales, up 7% year-over-year.
