Foxconn reported record October sales as strong AI demand combined with the peak shipping season for consumer electronics. The world’s largest contract electronics manufacturer generated revenue of NT$1.305 trillion (approximately US$39.6 billion), up 45.7% from a year earlier and 12.7% from September. It was the second consecutive month that sales exceeded NT$1 trillion.

Revenue for January–October reached NT$8.98 trillion (about US$271.7 billion), an increase of 40.4% from the same period in 2025. The figures underline Foxconn’s growing exposure to AI infrastructure alongside its established role as Apple’s largest iPhone assembler.

All four product divisions recorded year-on-year growth. Cloud and networking products delivered the strongest increase, supported by AI server demand. Consumer electronics benefited from customer orders and higher shipment prices, while computing products and components also grew. For the fourth quarter, Foxconn expects continued growth in AI servers and seasonally strong demand for consumer electronics to keep overall performance in line with market expectations.

Foxconn’s recent technology days showed how it intends to drive future growth. At the October 30–31 event in Taipei, the group demonstrated a modular AI installation based on Nvidia’s DSX POD reference design. The approach places Vera Rubin computing infrastructure inside containers, with cabling, piping, and functional testing completed before shipment.

Foxconn says assembling and testing the systems in a factory could reduce on-site installation time from about six months to as little as 14 days, provided the site’s power, cooling and network connections are ready. Moving more integration and testing work into factories makes installation faster and more predictable for customers building AI capacity.

Its collaboration with TECO illustrates the broader scope of that business. The companies displayed a modular data center concept in a 40-foot container, combining computing racks, power distribution, cooling, energy management, and fire protection. The design brings together Foxconn’s server and rack integration capabilities with TECO’s expertise in electrical and mechanical infrastructure.

The event also highlighted Foxconn’s diversification into electric vehicles. The company unveiled three reference models: the MODEL A+ and MODEL K+ SUVs, and the MODEL K compact truck. Automakers can use these vehicle designs as a starting point for their own models and hire Foxconn to develop and manufacture them.

October’s record sales demonstrate the strength of Foxconn’s consumer electronics and AI businesses. Its next step is to use that manufacturing scale to deliver complete AI infrastructure, including modular data centers. By assembling and testing computing, power, and cooling systems before shipment, Foxconn aims to shorten data center installation schedules and bring customers’ AI capacity online faster.
