1. Macroeconomic Risk: Spectris plc is a global supplier of control and measurement systems, so macroeconomic changes, such as global economic downturns, may have a negative impact on the demand for the company’s services and products.

2. Competition Risk: Spectris plc operates in a highly competitive market and there are numerous competitors offering similar, or in some cases even superior, products and services. This could lead to a decrease in sales and profits.
