Logisnext

  • The domestic market remained firm at pre-COVID-19 levels.
  • Overseas, demand immediately decreased in reaction to the temporary special demand after COVID-19, but is currently recovering.
  • Competition is intensifying due to the entry of Li-ion battery (LiB) equipped models from China.
  • All numerical targets specified in the previous "LS23" medium-term management plan were achieved and net sales and profits reached record levels.
  • Lengthening lead times were shortened to nearly appropriate levels through production improvements. The order backlog has not yet reached an appropriate level only in the U.S., where there was a 9-month backlog at the end of March 2024.
