We are promoting our businesses in the healthcare market, which is expected to continue to grow due to various factors, including the aging of the population, increasing health awareness, and advances in medical technologies, associated with economic development.
We are building a global pharmaceutical sales network to deliver trusted, proven pharmaceuticals to regions where they are needed, thereby developing a business that contributes to solving the social challenge of disparities in medical infrastructure between regions.
In addition to contributing to the quantitative and qualitative improvement of medical infrastructure, we will develop businesses that provide high-quality medical services in areas such as clinical specimen testing, IVF (in vitro fertilization), and telemedicine in order to respond to the new medical needs that have emerged alongside economic development and lifestyle changes.
We are contributing to passing on monozukuri (high-level manufacturing) to future generations by combining the advanced technologies possessed by Japanese companies with the customer bases Marubeni has cultivated around the world over many years as a diversified trading conglomerate. We also promote next-generation storage battery businesses, contributing to the creation of a decarbonized and recycling-oriented society.
Mainly in Asia, we develop high-quality industrial parks that introduce smart technologies to resolve social issues such as energy, environment, and safety, while also considering people's livelihoods, contributing to technology transfer, human capital development, and the creation of industrial and employment foundations. Additionally, we deploy IT services with strengths in offshore development that respond to the DX needs accompanying the acceleration of global digitalization and shortages in DX and IT service personnel, pursuing our leap toward becoming a global IT company.
We supply industrial machinery and machine tools to manufacturing sites around the world, serving a wide range of industries including automotive, aerospace, and beverage. In the U.S., we have been conducting sales operations with Citizen Machinery Co. Ltd. for over 40 years.
Beyond trading functions, we provide comprehensive support—from engineering and machinery installation to after-sales services.
Amid rising demand for electronic components driven by the popularization of electric vehicles (EVs), factory automation (FA), and 5G in the information and communications sector, we are expanding our product portfolio—including semiconductors and connectors—while strengthening support for electronic circuit design in equipment development. Looking ahead, we will broaden our value proposition to include ODM support, delivering solutions that precisely address the diverse needs of manufacturing sites worldwide.
In the beauty and personal care sector, we will strengthen partnerships with leading brands aligned with the preferences of next-generation consumers, primarily in Asia—the world’s largest market—and drive business expansion both within and beyond the region. Targeting next-generation consumers who, with rising purchasing power, seek not only improved physical health but also an overall enhancement to their quality of life, we aim to create a vibrant society where these consumers can live life to the fullest in their own unique ways.
We are developing overseas brands as well as our own brands both in Japan and internationally in a wide range of fields, including apparel, footwear, miscellaneous goods, and cosmetics. Utilizing our expertise in product planning and marketing, we will launch new brands and provide high-value-added products to consumers around the world.
We explore and develop next-generation business creation opportunities in high-growth domains and areas. We will pursue business development that contributes to further enhancing the value of Japan’s entertainment and content industries, driving the expansion of overseas sales networks and strengthening the value chain. We also promote the development of high-value-added products and services targeting the expanding middle-income demographic in emerging markets, as well as the exploration of cutting-edge technologies and related fields that are expected to be implemented and commercialized over the medium to long term, with the potential to bring about significant transformative impacts on society.
