In 2025, data-center sales contributed about 7% of Danfoss's EUR 9.4 billion total revenue, and first-half 2026 results showed 15% organic growth with total sales reaching EUR 5.3 billion and an operational EBITA margin of 15.3%.", "body_md": "# Danfoss expects data-center sales to double amid AI boom\n\nThe Danish industrial giant is riding the AI cooling wave as data-center revenue climbs from 7% to a projected 15% of total sales\n\nDanfoss, the Danish industrial conglomerate, is quietly becoming one of the biggest beneficiaries of the AI infrastructure buildout. The company expects its data-center business to at least double its share of total sales in 2026, driven by surging demand for the cooling systems that keep power-hungry AI chips from melting down.\n\nIn 2025, data-center sales made up roughly 7% of Danfoss’s EUR 9.4 billion in total revenue. That figure nearly doubled year-over-year, and the company now projects it could reach around 15% of total sales by the end of 2026.\n\n## The cooling problem nobody talks about\n\nDanfoss manufactures oil-free Turbocor compressors and liquid-cooling components designed for both air-cooled and liquid-cooled data centers. One of its flagship products, the Turbocor TGS380 compressor, is used in waterless chiller systems that achieve notably low Power Usage Effectiveness, a key metric for data-center energy efficiency.\n\nPUE is the ratio between total energy a data center consumes and the energy that actually powers its computing equipment. A PUE of 1.0 would mean perfect efficiency. In practice, anything below 1.3 is considered excellent.\n\nThe company’s client base includes hyperscalers, co-location providers, and semiconductor manufacturers.\n\n## Strong financials backing the pivot\n\nFirst-half 2026 results showed 15% organic growth, with total sales reaching EUR 5.3 billion. The operational EBITA margin hit 15.3%, reflecting improved profitability alongside the revenue expansion.\n\nNorth America has been a particularly bright spot. In 2025, the company’s Climate Solutions segment posted 26% organic growth in the region.\n\nDanish business newspaper Børsen reported that data-center sales could scale from approximately 7% to around 15% of total sales as Danfoss invests in capacity and growth opportunities.\n\n**Disclosure:** This article was edited by Editorial Team.
