Voltas, a leading air conditioner manufacturer, has achieved a significant milestone by crossing the 2 million unit sales mark in FY24. This achievement solidifies Voltas’ position as the undisputed market leader in the room air conditioner category. The company experienced a volume growth of 35%, outperforming other brands in the Indian residential AC market. Voltas’ success can be attributed to its wide presence, focus on emerging retail channels, strong distribution network, and attractive consumer offers.
Several factors contributed to Voltas’ record-breaking sales in FY24. The consistent demand for cooling products throughout the year, coupled with a strong offline and online distribution network, played a crucial role in driving sales. Additionally, Voltas’ new innovative launches and attractive consumer offers further boosted its market performance. The company’s ability to cater to the evolving needs of consumers and maintain a strong brand equity has been instrumental in achieving this significant milestone.
The Indian residential AC market is estimated to be around 10 million units in FY24 and is expected to grow to 11.5 million units this year. Voltas is well-positioned to capitalise on this growth, given its market leadership and strong brand presence. The company is expanding its retail and distribution network to cater to its growing product portfolio, including other cooling products such as air coolers and commercial refrigeration products. Voltas’ home appliances brand, Voltas Beko, also achieved a significant milestone by selling close to 2 million units in FY24.
