Market Position/ History

Philips & Co was founded in 1891 in Eindhoven, the Netherlands, by Frederik Philips and his son Gerard. Early on, they capitalized on the growing availability of electricity by producing cost-effective and reliable incandescent light bulbs. The company quickly grew, becoming the largest private employer in the Netherlands by the early 1900s and establishing a strong culture of social responsibility. In 1914, Philips opened its first research laboratory, Philips Nat Lab, which pioneered innovations in lighting and health technologies such as X-ray tubes. Over the decades, Philips expanded its product range and influence, introducing iconic consumer products like the Philishave rotary electric razor in the 1930s, the compact cassette player in the 1960s, and the first video cassette recorder in the 1970s. The company also played a significant role in advancing digital technology with developments like the Compact Disc in the 1980s.

Throughout the 1990s and into the 21st century, Philips shifted its focus toward human-centered design and user experience, aiming to create products that were easier to use and more comfortable. This people-centric approach culminated in a renewed commitment to health and well-being, driving innovation in health technology solutions that support value-based care. Today, Philips is dedicated to improving the lives of 2.5 billion people annually by 2030 through meaningful innovation in healthcare.
