After more than 30 years in the United States, we're proud to share a comprehensive look at where we've been and where we're headed.


Our 2025 U.S. Business and Innovation Report highlights Daikin's expanding American footprint, our approach to helping address some of the nation's biggest energy and environmental challenges, and our strong focus on contributing to the communities where we live.

The American Story

The numbers speak to our commitment:

  • 25,000+ employees across the United States (2.3x growth since 2015)
  • $9 billion+ invested in American manufacturing, R&D, and infrastructure
  • 25 manufacturing plants supported by 9 R&D centers nationwide
"This report tells the story of Daikin's commitment to America, from our highly skilled and growing workforce to our robust manufacturing presence," said Yoshiyuki Uemura, President of Daikin U.S. Corporation. "Our substantial investments have positioned us to serve the real-world needs of American homes and businesses, while establishing deep roots in the communities where our people live and work."

Five Core Themes

The report explores:

  • American Impact - Our commitment to U.S. job creation and investment

Major Milestones

This year brought significant achievements, including our 15-year naming-rights partnership for Daikin Park, home of the Houston Astros.

Backed by bold product innovation, strategic acquisitions and a new dedicated global business unit, Daikin is also helping power a more energy-efficient, reliable and scalable data center cooling future.

Our Sustainability Strategy

Our three-pillar approach to building decarbonization and energy resilience includes technology leadership, lifecycle solutions, and coordinated policy implementation. The results? Globally, we've achieved a 27% reduction in net greenhouse gas emissions in FY24 and we're accelerating toward net-zero emissions by 2050, while working to support a more resilient energy future for the U.S.
