Message from General Manager for Asia & Oceania

In the Asia Pacific region, we operate in 14 countries with different ethnic, religious, cultural, and economic development stages, from Australia and New Zealand in the east to ASEAN countries, and India and Pakistan in the west. With a population of 2.6 billion people, the region is a vibrant market where nominal GDP is expected to increase by approximately 60% by 2030 compared to 2023.

In consideration of the social issues that each country faces according to its development stage, we have developed businesses in which we are strong in, such as electric power, railroads, steel, chemicals, and industrial parks, to become the No.1 in each field. We are also building a network with local partner companies and promoting businesses in the automotive, real estate, media, and lifestyle sectors to meet the changing needs of consumers.

Countries in the Asia Pacific region are confronted by issues such as energy transition to renewable energy while meeting the rapidly growing demand for electricity, infrastructure development essential for economic growth, and meeting consumer needs such as health care as the middle-income class expands. By combining our accumulated knowledge and network with DX and new technologies, we will stay ahead of the changes in this burgeoning region and contribute to the realization of sustainable world.
