Trend in the Mobility Industry
Since we provide core systems to mobility industry, the business is affected by trends in the industry (especially auto maintenance shops). The number of passenger-type vehicles in Japan continues to increase, and the number of auto maintenance shops and their total revenue have remained stable. On the other hand, the legal system is becoming stricter due to the evolution (autonomous driving) and electrification (EV) of mobility. As a result, companies are required to make capital investments in order to respond to new legal systems.
