North America and Latin America are summarized under the region Americas. In 2020, the Americas region recorded a sales increase in local currencies of 1.0% (previous year: 19.2%). Despite the high COVID-19 infection rates recorded in Mexico, Brazil, and the United States, Sika recorded an uptrend in the Americas region in the last quarter of 2020. Many cities in North America continue to be affected by the pandemic and construction projects have slowed. The situation in Latin America has seen a clear improvement. Many countries such as Brazil, Chile, Peru, and Uruguay have recovered from lockdowns lasting many months, or are once again growing at double-digit rates. In North America, the company’s collaboration with CiDRA Concrete Systems Inc., which is headquartered in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, was expanded, and a growth equity investment agreement to supplement the existing global partnership was signed. CiDRA specializes in digital systems for monitoring concrete properties during transportation.
