Factors to Note

The segment is also likely to have gained from momentum in the global marine market due to increasing ship building rates and higher utilization.
However, weakness in defense OEM and aftermarket sales due to lower guided weapons sales is likely to act as a headwind along with depressed natural gas truck production in China. Global macroeconomic weakness, forex volatility and persistent supply-chain disruptions continue to remain major concerns.
