As the global specialist in electrical and digital building infrastructures, Legrand does over half its business in the commercial and industrial sectors.

In line with underlying global trends, Legrand continues to build its positions in promising markets. Today new economies account for 38% of total group sales, and that figure will surely grow as these markets expand.

In mature countries, nearly 60% of sales are in maintenance and renovation.

The electrical and digital infrastructure market accessible to Legrand is valued at around €80 billion.

A two-fold ambition for sustainable growth

By focusing on a single core business, Legrand can pursue a two-fold ambition: strengthen its leading positions in electrical and digital infrastructures for buildings, and become the benchmark for smart electrical devices by offering innovative, highly energy-efficient solutions that can operate as systems.

The leadership advantage

Operating globally, Legrand holds leading positions in at least one business area in key markets that include France, the United States, Italy, Brazil, India, Russia, China, Turkey and Mexico.
These strong national positions give Legrand major competitive advantages, including the ability:

• to sell products that are suitable for most national markets—where installer work practices and consumer tastes can vary enormously, and where products, their operation and their installation must comply with specific standards.
• to offer virtually all of the products needed for an electrical installation—often as an integrated system—from circuit protection panels to the connection of low-current socket outlets. Solutions like these help customers avoid the costs, risks and delays associated with buying products from different suppliers.
• to build on the familiarity and trust generated by its market-leading products among consumers, installers and distributors, thus strengthening the position of products that are still challengers—and growing its business.
