In AV/IT products, the market for home theaters is
growing, and we are aiming to maintain our strategic
advantages both in Japan and abroad by offering a
variety of home theater products with superior sound
quality. In addition, YAMAHA is determined to expand
sales of visual products, which it began offering during
the term under review. By adding value to its line of
CDR-RW drives and routers, YAMAHA is making an
effort to ensure that its products remain profitable.
In the semiconductor business, we are working to expand sales of mobile phone
use sound chips and ensure profitability.
In the Electronic Parts and Materials group, which includes such businesses as
electronic metals, automobile interior components and fittings, and FA products and
metallic molds, YAMAHA will continue to emphasize the importance of investment
efficiency, work to maintain competitive advantages in costs and technologies, and
strive to generate profits by reacting quickly to market changes.
In the Lifestyle-Related and Leisure group, which
includes our lifestyle-related products and recreation
businesses, we face a stagnant domestic market and no
near-term growth prospects and so aim to boost our
profitability and strengthen our operating base through
selective resource allocation.
