Management Discussion and Analysis
As per the terms of Regulation 34(2)(e) of the Listing Regulations, the
Management Discussion and Analysis Report forms part of this Annual Report.
The Company tends to grow its environment in several aspects such as
financial, human resource level, capital resource, technological, controlling and etc.
keeping in mind its competitors and others threats in the market.
(a) Industry structure and developments
The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic
recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two
countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity
prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and
affecting many markets across the globe. The electrical and electronics market is expected
to grow to $4986.91 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 7.5%. The renewable generation sector is
a promoting and advancing alternative for green power generation. The main challenge with
these resources is their uncertain power output, which can be compensated with storage
systems and strong uncertainty management decision-making tools.
The escalating rate of global power consumption generates huge carbon
emissions. Thankfully, electrical energy pollution is on the decrease in 2023 thanks to
the widespread adoption of new, greener lighting solutions with lower energy profiles and
higher illumination quality. People today want their lights to be part of a super
convenient and personally expressive domestic experience, and manufacturers are stepping
up to the challenge. LED lighting in residential settings will continue to grow in
popularity due to their several advantages. These include using up to 75% less energy
while boasting a life expectancy that is 25 times longer than incandescent lights.
