JCB sales turnover totalled £5.7 billion in 2025, down slightly on the £5.8 billion in 2024. The company sold 113,498 machines last year (119,848 units in 2024).
Profit before tax was £642 million (£687 million in 2024) and the business remained debt-free with no net borrowings.
“While 2025 was a more challenging year with mixed market conditions around the world, JCB delivered a robust performance overall,” comments CEO Graeme Macdonald. “Machine sales were down by around 5%, but turnover remained broadly stable due to a more favourable market and product mix.”
Despite zero market growth in North America and a 12% market contraction in India – both important markets for JCB – the company increased its global market share last year, which Mr Macdonald describes as encouraging.
“The overall outlook for 2026 is for moderate growth, despite ongoing geopolitical uncertainty, and with new capacity coming on stream in Texas and Staffordshire we are well placed to take advantage of it.”
The new US$1 billion factory in San Antonio, Texas, JCB’s largest global factory opens next month, creating 1,500 jobs over the next five years. The new plant will build Loadall telescopic handlers and access equipment for North America.
The company is also investing £100 million in the transformation of its Staffordshire World HQ. A £60 million fully automated powder paint plant and a comprehensively modernised shop floor are part of the transformation, helping to secure the future of more than 8,000 UK jobs.
With 23 factories and more than 20,000 employees worldwide, JCB is one of Britain’s largest privately owned manufacturers.
