Megatrends

Global megatrends continue to create significant opportunities for Danfoss

 

Regionalization
Regionalization

Accelerated localization

Global supply chains are being rewired for local

  • +70% of supply chain leaders are considering regional or local strategies to enhance supply chain resilience and mitigate geopolitical tensions.
  • The EU targets 40% domestic production of clean tech by 2030 to increase energy security.
  • Global trade restrictions rising with 3,000 new restrictive measures implemented in 2024 (tariffs, import bans etc.) marking a shift towards regionalized trade policy.

Digitalization and AI

Scaling intelligent solutions

From connectivity to cognition — AI is revolutionizing value creation

  • Global data creation is set to reach 180 trillion gigabits by 2025 (x3 volume in 2020).
  • By 2030, data centers will consume 1,200 TWh of electricity (+15% CAGR) while water usage is expected to rise to 1.7 M m3/day (+5% CAGR).
  • Early adopters of AI have seen ~10-15% productivity increase per use-case after full implementation.

Climate Change

Towards a low-carbon future 

Energy efficiency is the fastest route to net zero

  • Global emissions must fall by 7–9% annually to meet 1.5°C targets — but they are increasing +1%.
  • Energy efficiency alone can deliver over 40% of the emissions reductions needed by 2040.
  • By 2030, over 70% of new power capacity will come from renewables — contributing to 3x investment needs in grids and storage.


Electrification

Powering the transition

Electricity will be the backbone of tomorrow’s energy system

  • Driven by current regulation (e.g., European Green Deal, Glasgow Declaration) EV's are projected to make up +70% of global new car sales by 2040.
  • Electricity demand is set to double by 2050 — with electrification accounting for more than 70% of building energy use, driven by heating and cooling​.
  • The agriculture & construction sectors generate ~40% of global emissions, but are set to help reduce GHG emissions, with electrical machinery making up +50% of all equipment in 200
Urbanization
Urbanization

Sustaining life in mega-cities

A rising urban population creates new requirements for infrastructure and buildings

  • Resource use increasing by 2030 as middle class will rise to +50% of global population and urban areas will house 60% of population
  • By 2030, 1 in 2 people will live in areas facing high water stress — with cities most at risk
  • Cities drive +70% of global energy use and CO2 emissions



Food & Water Supply

Securing tomorrow’s resources

Climate-driven disruption and growing demand are intensifying global food and water resilience

  • Food production must rise 50–60% by 2050 — while 40% of food is lost or wasted today.
  • By 2030, 40% of the global water demand may not be met under a business-as-usual scenario.
  • Climate extremes like droughts, floods, and heat are disrupting food and water systems e.g., putting 25% of global crop production at risk by 2050.
