KONICA MINOLTA, INC. Annual Report 2014
Both sales and income in the Healthcare Business climbed year on year. We have been
shifting our business from analog to digital products in this field, and sales of digital
products expanded, reflecting the competitive strength of our products.
Sales of mainstay cassette-type digital radiography system AeroDR remained solid
with sales volume growth in Japan and the United States and a steady increase in
completed deliveries to large-scale medical institutions. We have gradually increased
the number of projects we are engaged in based on the collaboration we have been
promoting with leading sales partners in Europe and the United States, including GE
Healthcare.
Furthermore, making use of the resources gained following the transfer of the busi-
ness from Panasonic Healthcare Co., Ltd., we established an integrated business
structure for diagnostic ultrasound systems that spans development, production and
sales. We pushed ahead with preparations for full-fledged business development in
this field, which we position as a growth driver.
