FANUC CORPORATION · Fiscal year ended March 2026
Is FANUC mainly a robot company?
FANUC is easy to associate with its yellow industrial robots. That image is justified: in FY2025, Robot sales were ¥378.6 billion, 44.1% of group sales and the largest division. But robots were still less than half. FA, Robomachine and Service together represented 55.9%. FANUC itself describes CNCs and servos as its basic technologies, then applies those technologies to robots and robomachines. The company therefore looks less like a standalone robot maker and more like a layered factory-automation company.
This is not investment advice or a stock recommendation. We reorder company-published primary-source facts to make the shape of the business easier to see.
FANUC is easy to picture as a yellow industrial-robot company.
That image is not wrong.
But the divisional numbers show a broader company underneath it.
Sales are ¥857.8 billion
The largest part of those sales is indeed robots.
Robot generates ¥378.6 billion
But 44.1% is still below half.
Non-Robot divisions are 55.9%
Robot is largest, but FANUC operates across four layers
FY2025 sales by division.
The next question is what sits underneath those divisions.
The answer starts with FA.
FA generates ¥208.5 billion
FANUC explicitly calls CNCs and servos its basic technologies.
CNCs and servos also underpin Robot and Robomachine
Those roots predate the robot business by decades.
The story starts with NC development in 1955
The robot business, of course, has also reached enormous scale.
Robot shipments reached 1 million
The business also continues long after installation.
Service alone generates ¥141.1 billion
FANUC’s service policy is unusually explicit.
Support continues as long as customers use the product
Most of those customer relationships are also outside Japan.
Japan is only 12.9% of sales
About 87% of sales come from outside Japan
FY2025. Outside Japan is a site calculation from Japan's 12.9% share.
Robots are FANUC’s most visible face.
But that face sits on top of CNCs, servos, machine tools, service infrastructure and decades of factory-automation experience.
THE VIEW AFTER THE NUMBERS
What the numbers suggest
FANUC generated ¥857.8 billion of sales and ¥183.8 billion of operating income in FY2025. Robot was the largest division at ¥378.6 billion, or 44.1%.
But FA, Robomachine and Service together accounted for 55.9%. Robots alone do not explain most of the company.
FANUC also describes CNCs and servos as its basic technologies, applying them to Robot and Robomachine. NC development began in 1955; cumulative CNC production later reached 5 million units, while cumulative robot shipments reached 1 million.
Service is another 16.5% of sales. FANUC supports products for as long as customers use them through more than 280 service locations covering over 100 countries.
Japan represented only 12.9% of sales, leaving 87.1% outside Japan by site calculation.
Taken together, FANUC looks less like a company that simply sells robots and more like a global factory-automation stack spanning control, motion, robots, machines and service.
