Summary

Koninklijke Philips N.V., commonly known as Philips, is a Dutch multinational health technology company that has evolved from its origins as a consumer electronics conglomerate into a leading global healthcare solutions provider. Founded in 1891 in Eindhoven, Netherlands, Philips has transformed its business focus since the 2010s to concentrate exclusively on health technology. The company operates through three main divisions: Diagnosis and Treatment, which manufactures advanced medical imaging equipment including MRI, CT, and ultrasound scanners; Connected Care, specializing in patient monitoring systems and respiratory care products under the Respironics brand; and Personal Health, producing consumer healthcare products like electric shavers, Sonicare toothbrushes, and Avent childcare items. With 68,419 employees worldwide and annual revenues of €18.02 billion (2024), Philips maintains its global headquarters in Amsterdam while operating manufacturing, R&D, and sales facilities across 26 countries. The company has strategically divested its consumer electronics, lighting, and home appliance businesses to become a pure-play health technology organization, positioning itself at the forefront of medical innovation and digital healthcare solutions.
