「To accelerate the development of products and services for liquefied hydrogen, which is attracting attention as a next-generation energy carrier, the Group built a liquefied hydrogen experimental building at its Hamamatsu Research Institute, completed in March 2026. The facility enables experiments using liquefied hydrogen at the extremely low temperature of -253°C and allows measurement of physical properties such as thermal conductivity and strength in cryogenic environments. In addition, based on its belief that the Group’s technologies for “separating and protecting” can contribute to the development of fusion energy, the Group entered into a capital and business alliance with 株式会社Helical Fusion in March 2026 to achieve practical power generation using fusion energy and create a related industry.」
In the next-generation energy field, the Group reports concrete progress, including completion of the liquefied hydrogen experimental building in March 2026 and the capital and business alliance with 株式会社Helical Fusion in March 2026. - 2026-05-13AdvancedEarnings presentation materials

「In overseas markets, demand is increasing for VOC-removal filters and industrial dehumidification filters as China responds to environmental regulations and investment in battery plants expands with the rapid adoption of EVs. In domestic markets, large projects are expected in chemical-liquid manufacturing and supply due to major semiconductor-related investments.」
The shift toward growth markets is presented in more concrete terms, adding China’s environmental regulations, EV battery plants, major semiconductor investments and carbon-neutral-related demand to the previous focus on 5G, semiconductors and healthcare. - FY2023AdvancedAnnual report
「Over the medium to long term, the semiconductor market is expected to expand and grow as IoT, AI, 5G and the metaverse become more widespread and the data-driven society accelerates.」
The previous policy of targeting growth markets such as 5G, semiconductors and electronic components, and healthcare and pharmaceuticals has been made more specific to include IoT, AI, 5G, the metaverse, EV and battery plants, and carbon-neutral-related markets. - FY2020First statedAnnual report
「Against this backdrop, the Group will promote activities focused on promising growth markets and regions in Japan and overseas, particularly the semiconductor and electronic components industries supporting the 5G communications era, for which social demand is increasing, and the healthcare and pharmaceutical industries, where advanced technologies and urgency are required. These industries require technologies and products that “separate and protect,” along with high quality and stable supply. Accordingly, the Group will actively develop and expand strategic product lines that deliver high customer satisfaction, invest in facilities to meet growing demand, and establish production systems.」
The Group identifies 5G, semiconductors and electronic components, healthcare and pharmaceuticals, among others, as promising growth markets, and for the first time brings together its policy of developing and expanding strategic products, investing in facilities and establishing production systems.
