Regarding economic trends in Japan and overseas in 2025, a gradual recovery is expected overall, however, a high degree of uncertainty is expected to remain due to geopolitical risks such as situation in Ukraine and the Middle East, concerns about the continued slowdown in Chinese economy, and uncertainty surrounding the policies of new U.S. administration.
Looking at the markets in which the Group participates, the entire interchangeable lens camera market is projected to remain on par with the previous fiscal year in volume terms, as the decline in SLR cameras will continue, while mirrorless cameras will continue to be strong. However, in monetary terms, it is projected that there will be an increase due to the strong sales of high value-added products. The interchangeable lens market is also projected to have a similar trend.
In the industrial market, the surveillance camera market is expected to grow steadily due to solid demand for urban surveillance and security in offices and commercial facilities, etc. In addition, the vehicle-mounted camera market is expected to continue to grow at a high rate with the spread of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS).
Under these circumstances, we will continue to aggressive launch our own-brand interchangeable lenses for mirrorless cameras, which are driving the market, as well as to achieve a full recovery in sales in the surveillance field, expand sales of camera modules, and maintain favorable performance of automotive lenses.
