Stars
ABB's Data Center Electrification saw double-digit order growth in 2025 as AI-driven power needs-projected to quadruple by 2030-drive demand; ABB reported a 15% order increase in this unit in 2025 and holds roughly 22% share of hyperscale electrification tender wins worldwide.
ABB's medium-voltage portfolio and SACE Emax 3 breakers are key for high-density sites, and ABB committed $110 million to US manufacturing in 2025 to raise capacity ahead of a 2026-27 demand peak.
Medium Voltage Infrastructure is a Star: Electrification revenue rose 11% y/y in 2025 and order backlog hit a record $8.69 billion, while ABB holds ~25% share of medium-voltage equipment in a market growing ~18% annually due to grid modernization and renewables.
Smart Power and Distribution commands a 30% share in the premium low-voltage circuit breaker segment and posted 22% CAGR to FY2025, outpacing the industrial market (~6-8%); revenue ≈ $1.2B in 2025 driven by US commercial and industrial demand.
ROI stands at 19% in 2025; the unit needs heavy promotion and channel placement to defend against Schneider Electric and Siemens amid smart-grid upgrades and rising electrification capex.
Process Industries Automation
Process Industries Automation (ABB) was a 2025 Star, powered by mining, metals, and battery automation tied to the energy transition and green-steel projects, delivering robust margin expansion and winning large EPC contracts.
Mining automation market hit $17.5B in 2024; ABB captured high-value projects, contributing to >12% organic growth in 2025 and steady double-digit operating margins.
Maintaining Star status needs heavy R&D and AI/digital investments-ABB increased R&D to ~4.2% of sales in 2025 for predictive-maintenance and digital twin tech.

Cash Cows
Industrial Motors and Drives is ABB's cash cow, holding a 32% market share in an 8% CAGR mature market (late 2025) and delivering operating margins of 18.5%, with CAPEX at 10% of segment spend.
It leverages a vast installed base and recurring service sales-services were ~24% of ABB Group revenue in 2024-generating steady free cash flow that funds growth bets in new tech.
ABB remains the global #1 in Distributed Control Systems (DCS), serving oil, gas, and chemical clients with sticky long-term service contracts; DCS sales contributed about $2.1bn in 2025 and operating margins near 28%, offsetting muted 2025 revenue growth in process industries. These high-margin, reliable systems give ABB high competitive advantage, letting management prioritize efficiency gains over costly market entry.
Low-Voltage Switchgear accounts for ~25% of ABB product revenue (~$6.5bn of 2025 sales), with margins near 30% (EBIT margin ≈ 29-31%), driven by 10-15 year replacement cycles in utilities and plants; market growth is low (~2-3% CAGR), yet ABB's market share and brand generate net cash surplus versus reinvestment needs.
Measurement and Analytics Products
Measurement and Analytics Products in ABB's Process Automation are mature, low-growth assets delivering steady margins and uptime-critical control tools that support industrial productivity.
They act as a cash cow via durable service contracts and 100 global service stations, generating predictable operating cash that helped fund ABB's $1.3 billion share buyback completed in early 2025.
