Momentum from industrial and developer markets boosted performance despite emerging cost pressures.
British single-board computing company Raspberry Pi reported stronger-than-expected annual results FY2025, with adjusted core earnings rising 25% year-on-year to $46.4 million. The performance reflects improving demand and stronger operational execution during the second half of the year.
The earnings growth was supported by better production efficiency and improved pricing dynamics after earlier supply disruptions. As operations stabilised, the company was able to scale output and benefit from healthier unit economics, helping lift overall profitability.
Shipment volumes also strengthened. Raspberry Pi shipped 4 million units in the second half, taking total annual shipments to 7.6 million units, a 7% increase compared with 2024. Demand remained steady across industrial automation, education technology, embedded systems, and developer communities that rely on compact computing platforms.
The company said sales momentum has continued into the early months of the new year, signalling sustained interest in low-cost computing solutions used in robotics, edge devices, and connected applications. However, it cautioned that visibility for the second half remains limited due to tightening conditions in the DRAM memory market, where supply constraints and rising prices could affect margins.
Broader global factors are also influencing outlook expectations. Analysts point to ongoing trade tensions between the United States and China, along with softer industrial demand from China, as contributing to uneven purchasing trends across the global electronics hardware sector.
Despite these risks, Raspberry Pi’s results indicate improving market stability and renewed growth momentum, as expanding applications in automation, artificial intelligence experimentation, and connected technologies continue to support demand for embedded computing platforms.
