On the evening of March 30, Midea Group released its 2025 annual report. The company achieved total operating revenue of 458.5 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 12.1%; and achieved net profit attributable to shareholders of listed companies of 43.95 billion yuan, up 14% year on year. Revenue and net profit reached new highs again. Among them, overseas revenue reached 195.9 billion yuan, up 15.9%.

The annual report shows that Midea Group’s localized self-operated business covers the world’s main 50 countries. Overseas, it has 29 R&D centers and 43 major manufacturing bases. Its overseas layout basic framework and system have basically taken shape.

Strong performance-driven growth provides solid support for Midea Group to maintain high-level dividends continuously. At the end of 2025, the company plans to distribute cash dividends of 38 yuan for every 10 shares. The total dividend amount will be 28.6 billion yuan. In addition, together with the interim dividend in 2025 of 5 yuan for every 10 shares, the full-year 2025 dividend will be 43 yuan for every 10 shares. The total annual cash dividend will be 32.4 billion yuan.

During the reporting period, Midea Group consolidated its leading advantages in the white goods home appliance industry. Meanwhile, in fields such as robotics, new energy, building technology, industrial components, medical, logistics, and more, it has built a strong second growth curve.

Data show that in 2025, the global market sales shares of Midea’s household air conditioner compressors, household air conditioner motors, and washing machine motors all remained number one. In addition, the domestic market sales revenue of Midea’s central air conditioners, commercial multi-split systems, and centrifugal chiller units all remained number one. Moreover, Lingwang Elevators has led for three consecutive years in the domestic elevator freight industry’s segmented markets. Midea’s KUKA Group is one of the “four major families” of global industrial robots.

The reporter learned that Midea Group has already publicly released five humanoid robot models, and is gradually entering factory applications to perform tasks such as product quality inspection and equipment inspections, marking a key step in moving from the laboratory to real-world applications. A relevant person in charge of Midea Group said that the group has currently determined three major R&D directions: humanoid-like, full humanoid, and super-humanoid robots. In the short term, it will focus on industrial scenarios, replacing repetitive labor and completing complex tasks such as precise assembly to address efficiency bottlenecks in manufacturing. In the medium and long term, it will look toward entering broader scenarios such as households and healthcare. Ultimately, it will become the next-generation smart terminal connecting “smart home” and “smart manufacturing.”

As a core technology carrier for smart buildings and professional temperature control, in 2025, the domestic market sales volume of Midea’s magnetically levitated chillers ranked number one, broadly covering diversified scenarios such as commercial offices, urban renewal, and high-end industry. With the rapid development of large models, AI applications, and high-density computing power, data centers are accelerating upgrades toward high power, high reliability, and low energy consumption directions, and liquid cooling has become one of the important trends in the industry. Recently, Midea Building Technology officially started the construction of a liquid-cooled smart manufacturing base in Foshan Shunde. The project’s total investment exceeds 1 billion yuan. It will focus on demand for the next-generation computing infrastructure for efficient, reliable, green temperature control systems, continuously enhance R&D, manufacturing, and delivery capabilities of liquid-cooled products, and further accelerate its strategic layout in the data center liquid-cooled temperature control field.

Midea Group states that the company is transforming into an “AI+” global technology group. By empowering operations with AI, in 2025 the group improved internal operational efficiency by more than 15 million hours and saved 700 million yuan in various costs. From smart home to intelligent manufacturing, and then to smart office and industry empowerment, Midea Group, by building two major hubs—“the home brain” and “the factory brain”—will apply AI empowerment in depth across four major core business scenario areas, and plans to invest more than 60 billion yuan over the next 3 years in cutting-edge scientific research to enhance global competitiveness.

The reporter learned that Midea Group has established an AI R&D team of over 400 people, with more than 13,000 intelligent agents operating daily in scenarios such as residential, office, manufacturing, medical, warehousing, and logistics.
