Daikin's hyperscale cooling push launched after Trane and Carrier had already established data center product lines
22% confidenceDaikin introduced new HVAC technologies targeting hyperscale data centers at the January 2026 AHR Expo, with fiscal year 2026 revenue of ¥5.02 trillion up 5.53% year-over-year, entering the data center cooling market after competitors Trane Technologies and Carrier Global had already established dedicated product lines.
This is InsightNodes' own interpretive read: Daikin's data center cooling debut came at the January 2026 AHR Expo, after Trane (via its Stellar Energy Americas acquisition) and Carrier (with its established QuantumLeap portfolio) had already built out dedicated data center offerings. Daikin's overall revenue growth (5.53% FY2026) trails Trane's reported HVAC bookings growth, suggesting Daikin is playing catch-up in the AI-driven segment specifically, even as it remains a much larger company overall.
