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.

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%

DATA VIEW

Robot is largest, but FANUC operates across four layers

FY2025 sales by division.

¥208.5bnFA
¥378.6bnRobot
¥129.6bnRobomachine
¥141.1bnService

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

DATA VIEW

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.

KEYENCE CORPORATION · Year ended March 20, 2026

Look at the next company

Is KEYENCE a sensor company?

KEYENCE has not stopped being a sensor company. Sensors remain part of its core factory-automation identity. But the system around the product is equally important to understanding the company. FY2025 sales were ¥1.1693 trillion and operating income ¥595.8 billion, producing an operating margin of about 51.0% by site calculation. Direct sales brings firsthand customer information into planning; latent needs become general-purpose products; production is fabless; and all products are shipped the same day. The company says roughly 70% of new products have world-first or industry-first functions or concepts at launch. Overseas sales were ¥779.2 billion, about 66.6% of total sales by site calculation. Over the past decade, FA sales grew about 2.6x while areas outside FA grew about 3.5x, extending into R&D, quality assurance, logistics, retail and digital fields. KEYENCE is therefore easier to understand as a company that turns field problems into standardized high-value products and delivers them globally at speed.
