In particular, as a provider of large‑scale equipment and infrastructure, it has secured high credibility in the market. Hyosung Middle Industry saw new orders rise 60% versus the same period last year through strengthened collaboration between utility firms and data‑center operators. Their performance alignment and higher mid‑term guideline targets display differentiated patterns in market movement and target achievement.
