Expansion into new markets in addition to existing markets

「In May 2026, we formulated the “Medium-Term Management Plan 2030” for further growth, and during the first quarter, as its first year, we fully launched new growth initiatives.」

「In addition to increasingly sophisticated and diverse customer needs, the rapid spread of generative AI is requiring us to respond to unprecedented market needs and changes. Demand for electronic components for AI-related markets, environment-related applications, and Beyond 5G is also expected to change.」

「In fiscal 2025, the final year of the five-year medium-term plan formulated in May 2021, we are developing bioelectrodes and electrochemical sensors for the medical and healthcare fields, which we regard as a pillar of the next medium-term management plan, as well as sensors for automotive electronics, under the themes of sensors, medical, and non-contact. We are also launching new products that address customer needs.」

「In the next fiscal year, the first year of the third step of the five-year medium-term plan, we will pursue the targets by expanding sales in the medical and industrial equipment fields, expanding existing areas, and developing new products addressing customer needs, including non-contact sensors, under the themes of sensors, medical, and non-contact.」

「Against this backdrop, during the current fiscal year, the second step of the five-year medium-term plan formulated in May 2021, the Group pursued sales expansion in automotive electronics, medical and healthcare, and industrial equipment, and worked to expand existing areas. It also developed new products addressing customer needs, including non-contact sensors.」

「Against this backdrop, during the current fiscal year, the second step of the five-year medium-term plan formulated in May 2021, the Group pursued its targets by expanding sales in the medical and industrial equipment fields, expanding existing areas, and developing new products addressing customer needs, including non-contact sensors.」

「We are also working to establish new areas, a challenge for the next medium-term plan. By strengthening the development of 5G-related products, we are developing the communications and public-sector fields, while also pursuing disaster prevention, medical and healthcare (MEMS), and nursing-care fields to strengthen efforts to address social issues, based on our sensor technology, the new-business development theme of water, and SDG-related social contribution activities.」

「Against this backdrop, during the current fiscal year, the second step of the five-year medium-term plan formulated in May 2021 and based on the long-term vision “Deepening and evolving from NOBLE of resistors to a new NOBLE,” the Group pursued sales expansion in the medical and industrial equipment fields, expanded existing areas, and developed new products addressing customer needs, including non-contact sensors, under the themes of sensors, medical, and non-contact.」

「In May 2022, looking toward the future NOBLE, we revised the numerical targets of our five-year medium-term plan, whose long-term vision is “Deepening and evolving from NOBLE of resistors to a new NOBLE.” While working to prevent the spread of COVID-19, we pursued the targets for the current fiscal year, the second step of the plan, by expanding existing areas through increased sales in the medical and industrial equipment fields and developing new products that address customer needs, including non-contact sensors, under the themes of sensors, medical, and non-contact.」

「Under the initiatives of the medium-term management plan, we expanded existing areas and developed new products that address customer needs, and began expanding sales of some new products this fiscal year. In addition, after strengthening our initiatives in the medical field, including investments in startup companies, inquiries from the medical sector increased and our existing areas expanded steadily.」

「We have begun implementing the expansion of existing areas and developing new products that address customer needs, and plan to begin expanding sales of some new products next fiscal year.」

「The Group continued to expand existing areas, develop new products that address customer needs, and pursue labor-saving and unmanned operations, productivity improvements, and cost reductions, thereby strengthening competitiveness.」

「Against this backdrop, the Group continued to pursue new-market development, labor-saving and unmanned operations, productivity improvements, and cost reductions, while strengthening the competitiveness of products for existing markets.」

「We aim to further expand and develop global markets in response to market changes. To develop our electronic components business, we will actively pursue market development and new-product development in areas expected to see continued growth in electronics, including automotive electronic equipment, AV and camera equipment, office equipment, housing-related equipment, white goods, gaming equipment, medical equipment, and robotics equipment.」

「We actively pursued the development of new markets, the launch of new products, and stronger competitiveness for products serving existing markets.」

「In response to market changes and with the aim of further developing global markets, we will accelerate the development of electronic components and ICB products under the theme of sensors for markets including automotive electronics, medical equipment, white goods, office equipment, gaming equipment, and robotics. We also aim to enter new fields such as fixed resistors.」

「Against this backdrop, the Group began introducing new production methods and equipment, while pursuing further improvements in productivity and lower costs, and strengthened its efforts to expand existing markets and enter new ones.」

「Against this backdrop, the Group continued strengthening solution-based sales and focusing on entering new markets, while continuing to pursue higher productivity and lower costs.」

「We will strengthen our efforts to provide products and services to the automotive, housing equipment, medical and healthcare, social infrastructure, and robotics sectors.」

「Against this backdrop, the Group continued working to improve production while developing its existing technologies and pursuing new markets.」

「Against this backdrop, the Group is seeking to enter new markets by continuing to strengthen solution-based sales and working with external partners, rather than relying solely on its own resources, while pursuing higher productivity and lower costs.」

「Against this backdrop, the Group continued to strengthen solution-based sales and focus on entering new markets, while pursuing higher productivity and lower costs.」

「Against this backdrop, the Group worked to strengthen solution-based sales and expand its entry into new markets. As its long-standing core markets for video and camera equipment contracted, it sought to maintain its existing markets while entering promising new markets such as medical and healthcare.」

「Against this backdrop, the Group continued developing new markets and working on new products, while pursuing lower manufacturing costs and higher productivity.」

「Against this backdrop, the Group worked to develop new markets and new products while reducing manufacturing costs and improving production efficiency.」

「We also worked to develop new markets and expand sales in Japan and overseas.」

「While addressing existing markets, we will explore every possibility and take a different perspective as we work to expand our entry into new markets. In other words, we will deepen our core technologies and know-how while expanding into adjacent areas on that foundation.」
