Switzerland: Sika recorded sales of €12.1bn in 2025, down by 5% year-on-year, but up by 1% in local currency terms. The company attributed the currency effect primarily to weakness in the US Dollar. Sales grew by 2% in local currencies in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) and by 2% in local currencies in the Americas, but fell by 5% in local currencies in Asia and the Pacific. During 2025, Sika launched its Fast Forward production and organisational optimisation programme, expected to cut costs by €162 – 216m/yr by 2028.

CEO Thomas Hasler said "Despite challenging macro-economic conditions, we achieved modest growth in 2025 and further reinforced our market position. Global markets were soft in the fourth quarter of the year, including US commercial construction trends, which were exacerbated by the government shutdown. Additionally, China saw continued market weakness in the residential building sector. However, our enhanced customer solutions allowed us to maintain pricing discipline and gain market share in every region.” Looking ahead to the rest of 2026, Hasler said “While we currently expect global market conditions to remain muted through the first half of 2026, we enter the year with a leaner cost structure and a clear investment roadmap to accelerate innovation and digitalisation."
