The industrial giant Danfoss is eager to increase its activity in India and Mexico, and the Danish company sees great potential in helping the two nations improve their production and energy efficiency.

“Some 200-300 million Indians will move to the cities in the next five years,” Christiansen told Berlingske newspaper. “They need to build motorways and skyscrapers; they are clever and they have energy labelling on their buildings.”
“That means that there is a market for energy efficiency. We can build up a pipeline so we can keep producing new things,” he continued.

Mexico – with its more than 120 million citizens – is also a nation that Danfoss sees great potential in.
“They will be building a lot of air conditioning systems that we can be a part of. But again, it's mostly about the growth and we want to be a part of that,” Christiansen said. “It's easier to rise with the water level rather than to go against the wind.”
Christiansen revealed that despite Danfoss moving to the promising markets in India and Mexico, the company wouldn't be scaling down its operations in Russia and China, where the company has been very active in recent years.
