Baikowski's 2026 First-Half Performance Sees Revenue Growth Amid Currency Challenges

Poissy, July 27, 2026 - Baikowski® reported a 4.1% increase in revenue for the first half of 2026, totaling €27.8 million, despite facing an unfavorable exchange-rate effect. This growth, which amounts to 13.1% at constant exchange rates, is attributed to strong performances in strategic markets.

Despite global economic uncertainties, Baikowski's performance was bolstered by the acceleration of new industrial applications and the expansion of its market reach. The electronics sector, particularly CMP applications, remained a significant contributor, driven by the semiconductor market's strength.

However, the automotive market experienced a temporary dip due to delivery timings, with expectations of recovery in the second half. Notably, alumina product sales for technical ceramics supported overall growth.

Geographically, Asia and other non-European regions accounted for the largest share of revenue at 66%, reflecting a shift from previous patterns.
