施耐德電氣被授予了“2006 Frost & Sullivan競爭策略領導獎” ，此獎表示著施耐德電氣獨特的競爭策略取得了良好的市場份額。至于施耐德電氣非凡的戰略考慮和創新視覺已經幫助其在競爭激烈的歐洲樓宇自動化和控制市場取得飛速的有機增長。

“With sales growth of 13% and a 22% increase in its operating income in 2005 as against single-digit overall market growth, Schneider Electric has demonstrated its ability to grow in mature markets based on its sound strategy and innovative thinking,” says Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst Manoj Kumar.

The strategy, based on selective acquisitions, has enabled Schneider Electric to strengthen its core electrical distribution and industrial automation-related businesses, while broadening its product line and sales presence in many targeted regions including the emerging markets of Asia Pacific and Eastern Europe. Exploring new geographic opportunities and acquisition plans in contiguous industries is also part of the strategy to achieve accelerated competitive growth.
