Philips, a leading company in the medical technology industry, continues to encounter difficulties in the Chinese market. The demand for medical systems from the company has significantly decreased, posing a challenge to its revenue growth.
Not only are medical systems affected, but Philips is also experiencing a slump in the sales of popular personal care products like toothbrushes and electric shavers. This decline in consumer purchases adds to the company's financial concerns.
To address these ongoing issues, Philips plans to implement substantial cost-saving measures this year. The company aims to save hundreds of millions of euros through strategic budget cuts and operational efficiencies.
