Daikin is the arch nemesis of Blue Star and is another company concentrated towards packaged air conditioning and retail air conditioners. Daikin and Blue Star both are loved for their quality, though Daikin is known to be the superior one. Daikin has a poor retail distribution network but it is absolutely dominant where B2B sales is concerned. In fact, people who buy Daikin are unlikely to buy any other brand air conditioners. That’s the hold of Daikin on their loyal customers.

11) Voltas

Another company concentrated towards Air conditioners (India is very hot after all) is Voltas. Voltas is the smartest marketer amongst the top three – Daikin, Blue Star and Voltas. This is why it is regularly ranked number 1 as per market share of air conditioners.
