Demand for Coda Octopus Group's products and services can be influenced by external factors, such as changes in US policy on funding for offshore renewables, which resulted in many projects being shelved and lower rental units. The company is strategically focusing on increasing defense adoption of its key technologies to mitigate reliance on cyclical commercial and rental markets.
