Over the five-year period from 2020 to 2024, Linde plc’s revenue steadily trended upward, growing from USD 27.2 billion in 2020 to around USD 33.0 billion in 2024, despite a minor decline in 2023. The revenue growth of roughly 21% over the period reflects consistent market demand and robust pricing power in the industrial gases sector. Notably, while the gross profit data is unavailable, the company's operating income demonstrates a markedly positive development. Operating income increased from USD 3.3 billion in 2020 to USD 8.6 billion in 2024, with a particularly significant jump of nearly 49% from 2022 (USD 5.4 billion) to 2023 (USD 8.0 billion). In parallel, net income rose from USD 2.5 billion in 2020 to USD 6.6 billion in 2024, underscoring improved operational efficiency and profitability. These improvements in operating and net income outpace the modest revenue growth, suggesting enhanced cost management, economies of scale, and possibly beneficial operational changes. The substantial year-over-year increases from 2022 to 2023 in both operating and net income, exceeding 20%, point to significant improvements in process efficiencies or potentially favorable shifts in market conditions. As a global leader in industrial gases, Linde plc operates in a competitive sector where sustainable production and environmental considerations are increasingly critical. Overall, the upward trends in revenue and profitability, combined with robust year-over-year improvements, signal a healthy financial performance and sustainable growth trajectory for the company, despite the minor revenue dip in 2023.
