E.E: What can you tell us about market trends?
Fieldpiece: The most important trends currently are the challenges in labor force. We see more people retire than there are people ready to replace them. Many companies in the industry are looking for workforce but skilled personnel are hard to find. We also see a trend in rules and regulations, particularly focused on climate change and global warming. The F-gas regulation is a good example of this. In the upcoming years, the number of rules and regulations regarding emissions and refrigerants will only increase and become more important which means that tools must be suitable for these types of refrigerants as well. This is something we are constantly working on and bearing in mind when developing new tools or updated the currently available ones.
E.E: What estimations do you have for the rest of 2022?
Fieldpiece: We expect the shortages in labor to increase and have a big effect on the availability of companies and people. This will have a big impact on new projects and the demand in the market will increase. As I mentioned before, we also expect new rules and regulations about refrigerants and working with refrigerants.
