Analysis of "risks and opportunities" in the Group
The following is an analysis of "risks and opportunities" for the Group's major businesses.
Risks
- Increase in costs as a result of installing detoxifying equipment or changing to alternative gases due to tightened regulations on wafer-etching process gas
- Increase in amount of capital investment for reducing greenhouse gas emissions
- Increase in response costs due to an expanded information disclosure obligation regarding climate change response
- Missing out on sales opportunities due to being unable to develop products that contribute to carbon neutrality including power semiconductors at an appropriate time
- Increase in raw material costs due to increased demand for products and technologies that contribute to carbon neutrality (electric vehicles, etc.)
Opportunities
- Increase in demand for energy efficiency products, including power semiconductors and high-efficiency semiconductors
- Increase in demand for semiconductor products that are adapted to demand for energy saving products.
- Increase in demand for products related to electric vehicles due to the expansion of their market
- Increase in demand for low power-consumption helium-filled HDDs
