As demand for electronic components for personal computers is increasing against the backdrop of the expansion of telework, sales and profits are reaching record highs among electrical equipment manufacturers and electronic component manufacturers one after another.
Of these, Fujitsu's financial results for the entire group last year reached a record high of 202.7 billion yen, an increase of 26.7% from the previous year.
In addition to the expansion of the base station business of the communication standard "5G", the spread of telework boosted profits by increasing sales of electronic components for personal computers and smartphones.
Last year, TDK, a major electronic component manufacturer, reported sales of 1,479 billion yen, up 8.5% from the previous year, a record high, and final profit was 79.3 billion yen, up 37.3%. ..
With the worldwide introduction of electric vehicles, the demand for electronic components for automobiles has increased, and the expansion of telework and online lessons has led to strong sales of batteries for personal computers and tablets.
At a press conference, TDK President Shigenao Ishiguro said, "We anticipate that the trend of digitalization will continue to accelerate, and we would like to seize growth opportunities."
