In the telecommunications field, the need for curing agents for low-dielectric materials is increasing as the speed and capacity of telecommunications increases. Demand for highly photosensitive materials and additives for electronic components is also increasing as electronic components undergo miniaturization. The shift to EVs in automobiles also requires miniaturization of electronic components, and we are working to add more value to these products. In addition, the increase in number and larger size of displays in EVs is expected to raise demand for overcoat materials for LCD color filters.

We are working on the development of curing agents for low-dielectric materials for substrate material resins in preparation for faster speeds and larger capacity in communications. Further, the increase in the number and size of displays accompanying the shift to EVs is expected to increase demand for products in the display field, in addition to protective films for LCD color filters. For electronic materials, we will also focus on market development in East Asia, including China, Taiwan, and South Korea.
