Ninth consecutive year on the list, reflecting the compounding effect of global brand leadership and enterprise-wide AI integration
On 28 July, Fortune released its 2026 Global 500 ranking, with Haier Smart Home rising 12 places to No. 378, reflecting the company’s continued growth across international markets and its ongoing investment in innovation, customer experience and digital transformation.
The result reflects two forces that have been building in parallel: a global brand and operations footprint that has matured into genuine local leadership in every major market, and an AI integration effort that is restructuring how the organisation itself works.
Haier Smart Home’s portfolio – including Haier, Casarte, Leader, GE Appliances, Fisher & Paykel, AQUA and Candy – combines global scale with deep local expertise. Across key markets, the company’s brands develop products and solutions tailored to the needs and lifestyles of local consumers.
In Europe, Haier Smart Home follows a country-led approach that enables greater responsiveness to market dynamics and consumer expectations. By combining global resources with local insights, the company continues to strengthen its presence across diverse markets while delivering solutions designed around real user needs. This balance between international scale and local relevance remains a key factor in the company’s sustainable growth.
Alongside its global expansion, Haier Smart Home continues to integrate artificial intelligence and digital technologies across its organisation to support innovation, collaboration and operational efficiency.
Powered by AI, the company’s ecosystem combines intelligent products, connected scenarios and personalised services designed to simplify everyday life.
Today, Haier Smart Home serves more than 130 million registered users globally and records over 86 billion annual interactions across its smart-home ecosystem. The company has also been recognised by Euromonitor International as the world’s leading smart home brand by retail sales volume.
The company’s progress in the Fortune Global 500 reflects its continued focus on delivering meaningful innovation, strengthening its local presence in markets around the world and advancing the development of a connected smart-home ecosystem for the future.
