Corporate news / Brussels, 12 May 2026 – Daikin Industries, Ltd. has released its global group results for fiscal year 2025, ending 31 March 2026. The company reports solid results, with strong performance in air conditioning and applied solutions, despite global economic challenges. Subsidiary Daikin Europe N.V. which oversees Daikin’s heat pump, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration (HVAC-R) sales in Europe, the Middle East and North Africa (EMEA) reports an annual turnover result of 5.25 billion euro, exceeding the results of its previous fiscal year to reach a record high.
In Europe, Daikin focused on sales of environmental solutions with residential R-290 heat pumps, R-32 VRV, and R-290 and CO₂ refrigerant showcases. In Turkey, the expansion of residential air conditioning sales has driven positive results, while the Middle East region, particularly Saudi Arabia and the United Arabic Emirates, has seen significant growth in the applied segments.
Solutions for home heating, cooling, and hot water needs
Daikin is market leader in low-carbon, heat pump technology-based, heating and cooling solutions for homes in Europe. It offers a variety of heat pump technologies, including air-to-air (air conditioning), air-to-water (heated water for space heating and domestic hot water), as well as integrated solutions combining multiple systems. Across residential business lines, Daikin delivered stable sales in a highly competitive market, with conditions varying significantly across countries and regions.
Increased need for cooling pushed demand for air conditioners upward especially in Germany and the UK. In southern Europe, Daikin’s high-end (multi) split, and Multi+ Domestic Hot Water system performed well. The market for air-to-water heat pump heating has started to recover in many European countries. However, a full-scale recovery has not yet been achieved.
Commercial and industrial segments
In fiscal year 2025, Daikin has demonstrated robust performance in commercial and industrial segments by strongly focusing on environmental and energy-saving solutions, notably through the increased sales of products using R-32 refrigerant. The company enhanced proposal-based selling, concentrating on commercial facilities and hotels with mid-to-high-end models.
Alongside this, Daikin expanded its service solution menus and offered energy management support to further develop its solutions business. Direct proposals to property owners and the introduction of differentiated products for a variety of commercial and industrial application areas such as data centres, warehousing, hospitality, pharmaceuticals have also contributed positively to overall performance.
The cold chain business faced challenges with retailers lowering investments. Despite these headwinds, the company continued to focus on expanding sales of environmental solutions, such as showcases using R-290 and CO₂ refrigerants.
Launch of five-year Fusion 30 management plan
With a strong foundation in place, Daikin Europe is entering its next phase under Fusion 30, the company’s new five‑year strategic management plan launching this fiscal year. Fusion 30 sets a clear direction to further strengthen Daikin’s leadership in heating, cooling and refrigeration by accelerating innovation, scaling low‑carbon solutions, and deepening customer‑centric, solution‑based business models across EMEA. Daikin aims to combine sustainable growth with tangible progress towards climate neutrality, while continuing to support customers and partners navigating an increasingly complex energy transition.
Toshitaka Tsubouchi, President of Daikin Europe: “Despite ongoing economic and geopolitical uncertainty, our performance demonstrates the resilience of Daikin’s business and the continued relevance of our solutions across the EMEA region. With Fusion 30, we are building on this momentum. The plan reflects our long‑term commitment to innovation, decarbonization and customer value.”
