Investment Promotion

The product group that plays a central role in our company. Since they are driving growth and earning power, this is an area where we will continue to invest to maintain growth and further increase earning power.

Regrowth Building Areas

Mainly mature product groups. This is an area where stable earnings are maintained, although significant growth is not expected, so the company will maintain stable earning power thorough cost reductions and other measures.

Training Areas

Mainly newly introduced product lines. This is an area where earning power is still low, but growth potential is high in the early stages of sales, so the earning power will be increased through measures and investments.

Discernment Area

Low-growth and low-profit product groups. While change is required, it is also necessary to assess whether or not to withdraw from the market (Discontinue sales).
