​ROOM AIR CONDITIONERS: Daikin India continues to focus on inverter ACs; Targets 20-22% growth in room ACs in FY18

We met the senior management team of Daikin India, one of India’s top-5 room air conditioner (AC) manufacturers. Our key takeaways:

  • ​Achieves 40% growth in room ACs in FY17; targets 20-22% growth in FY18
  • Daikin India witnessed a strong FY17, with room air conditioner (AC) sales up 40%, commercial/packaged AC sales up 15%, and VRV sales up 27-28%. In 4QFY17, the company is likely to see 40% growth in room AC sales.
  • Daikin India sold 0.6m units in FY17, against industry volumes of 4.5m units. Despite demonetization, it achieved good sales in November-December; the impact of demonetization was felt more in new housing unit sales in the real estate sector, especially premium housing.
  • In FY18, the management expects the room AC market to grow 15% and Daikin India to grow 20-22%.
  • Daikin is starting its new factory at Neemrana (Rajasthan), which would expand its capacity to 1.2m units (currently 0.5m) by September/October 2017. The increased capacity would be used for the domestic market as well as for exports to Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bangladesh, and Africa.
