Pure player and market leader
Legrand is the world’s only global specialist in electrical and digital building infrastructures, and we have built up a unique expertise in regional and national standards wherever we do business. The products we make are used in buildings of all types, from residential spaces (around 40% of total sales), to data centers (over 10%), other non-residential spaces such as offices, hotels, and healthcare facilities (around 40%), and industrial buildings and infrastructure (less than 10%).
Our offer has unrivalled depth, with over 300,000 unique products and solutions, and nearly 2/3 of our total sales are generated by products that rank #1 or #2 in their markets.
Vast addressable market
Our vast addressable market encompasses new building work and building renovation. It is essentially a wide-ranging flow-based business serving hundreds of thousands of customers, with recurring needs in renovation (more than 40% of sales in 2022) and relatively limited offer commoditization. As the sector is minimally affected by cyclical effects, the market leader enjoys a significant premium.
At the heart of the building ecosystem
Legrand products are specified, sold and installed by a variety of players in our ecosystem, from professional distributors and installers to specifiers and end users. Interactions at all levels highlight the unique features of Legrand products and their special appeal: ease of installation and use, reliability and safety, continuing integration of new technologies, and immediately recognizable design.
Responding to favorable megatrends
Our addressable market is supported by long-term trends that are structurally favorable to the Group, from fundamental trends in society to essential developments reshaping the world. These trends have accelerated with the COVID-19 health crisis and the energy crisis triggered by a testing geopolitical context. They put Legrand Group at the forefront of challenges facing a world that has no choice but to become more sustainable.
