Siemens continued its accelerated high-value growth trajectory across all businesses and regions also in the third quarter. Despite the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and negative currency translation effects, Q3 was characterized by outstanding market successes companywide and positive momentum provided by the global economic recovery. Ongoing supply chain challenges associated primarily with electronics components, raw materials and rising raw materials prices were successfully mastered.
