Waters revenue by product and service: what the figures show

Waters brought in $2.78B from its four product and service lines in fiscal 2025, the year ended December 31, 2025. That is less than the $3.17B it reports by geography, so these lines do not cover all of its revenue. Waters Instrument Systems was the largest at $1.10B (39.7%), ahead of Service at $800.50M (28.8%) and Chemistry Consumables at $631.46M (22.7%). The remaining line, Ta Instrument Systems, brought in $243.82M.

Compared with fiscal 2024, Chemistry Consumables grew fastest, up 11.7% to $631.46M, while Service fell the most, down 56.9% to $800.50M. Some of that change comes from Waters regrouping its lines.

Waters stopped reporting Waters Service ($890.61M in fiscal 2022) and Ta Service ($107.76M in fiscal 2024) as separate lines.
