GROWTH STRATEGY
New growth engines
acquired through M&A
activities are entering a
full-scale growth phase
with a focus on B2B
businesses.

Canon is working to nurture new businesses, along with revi-
talizing existing ones. With a focus on B2B businesses, where
market growth is highly anticipated and stable profi ts can be
expected, we have directed our efforts to new business fi elds
where we can make use of Canon’s optical and image pro-
cessing technologies to maintain competitiveness after mar-
ket entry, along with M&A activities. The drivers of Canon’s
growth strategy are the commercial printing business, which
has stepped up cooperation with Océ, and the network camera
business, where Milestone and Axis have joined the Group.
