While market volatility and structural adjustments continue to play a role, the trend towards innovation and sustainability is evident. More companies within the top 25 overall have generated positive revenue growth, indicating a robust sector performance. Overall, 18 companies within the Top 25 experienced positive revenue growth, while only 2 companies saw a decline in revenue. (Since only 20 companies were among the Top 25 in both 2019 and 2024, only these 20 revenues could be compared.)
