(with January-December accounting period), SUMITOMO CHEMICAL COMPANY, LIMITED, TOSOH CORPORATION, Mitsui Chemicals, Inc., Mitsubishi Chemical Holdings Corporation (“Mitsubishi Chemical HD”) and Ube Industries, Ltd. 1. Industry Trend In recent years, business environment of chemical industry has been somewhat severe. Since 2018, trade friction between the U.S. and China has been a negative factor, and in 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic broke out. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant negative impact on social and economic activities around the world. Although uncertainty about the future of economic trend has lessened compared to the time when the pandemic broke out, the containment cannot still be foreseen. With regard to bulk chemicals, average utilization rate of domestic ethylene centers in fiscal 2020 was 93.9% (compared to an average of 94.2% in fiscal 2019), falling below the full utilization level of 95% for the second consecutive year. However, the monthly capacity utilization rate hovered around 90% in the first half of the fiscal year, but began to pick up in the second half, with some months exceeding 95%. In addition to recoveries in consumer activity and demand for downstream products, recent cold wave in the U.S.

  • Chemical Sector Research Analysts SECTOR REVIEW
    24 January 2014 Asia Pacific/Japan Equity Research Major Chemicals (Chemicals/Textiles (Japan)) / MARKET WEIGHT Chemical sector Research Analysts SECTOR REVIEW Masami Sawato 81 3 4550 9729 [email protected] Keyword: Innovation Maiko Saito Investment strategy 81 3 4550 9936 [email protected] ■ In 2014, we believe "green innovations" and "life innovations" are key to the longer term growth of chemical makers. ■ Green innovation: In the environment/energy field, solar cells and rechargeable lithium-ion batteries (LiB) should attract greater attention, while lightweight carbon fiber composite materials (CFRP) and their contribution to improving the fuel efficiency of automobiles and aircraft become increasingly important to efforts to reduce energy consumption and CO2 emissions. We believe companies to watch include Toray Industries (3402), Teijin (3401), Mitsubishi Chemical Holdings (4188), Kuraray (4023), Hitachi Chemical (4217), and Ube Industries (4208). ■ Life innovation: For their prospective innovations that could promote greater use of generics and help lower the cost of pharmaceuticals, we are focusing on Nippon Kayaku (4272), a major domestic maker of generic anti- cancer drugs and biosimilars, and Denki Kagaku Kogyo (4061), which we expect to expand its diagnostic reagent business. In addition, we look for Asahi Kasei (3407) to expand its pharmaceuticals business and, over the medium term, its home dialysis business. We think JSR (4185) is interesting for the medium-term growth potential of its drug discovery support business. Finally, Sanyo Chemical Industries (4471) and Nippon Shokubai (4114), two producers of super absorbent polymers (SAP) used in absorbent materials, should benefit from the global growth in demand that we expect for disposable diapers.

  • Facilitation of Information Transfer on Chemicals in Products
    Facilitation of Information Transfer on Chemicals in Products The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) developed ‘chemSHERPA’ [kémʃéərpə] as a new information transfer scheme for chemicals in products throughout their supply chains. METI hopes that the dissemination of chemSHERPA may contribute to reduce the workload of both providers and recipients of the information. From the beginning of the development of chemSHERPA, METI has been in communication with international bodies such as the IEC and the IPC, etc., with the aim of developing chemSHERPA into not only a Japanese standard but also an International standard. To make it a de-facto standard, METI has introduced this scheme to international organizations and governments of other countries for their active use. The Joint Article Management Promotion Consortium (JAMP) is a governing body for chemSHERPA from April 2016 and see a shift to chemSHERPA. We believe many companies are preparing towards implementing chemSHERPA. Based on the efforts mentioned above, the following companies and company groups have agreed with the dissemination of chemSHERPA, and METI will continue to work with JAMP and companies to spread the use of chemSHERPA to internal as well as external supply chains as needed.(Please contact us if any company or company group has interest in putting its name below.) It should be noted, the use of the provision of data entry support tools is free of charge in principle with the aim of promoting wider use of chemSHERPA.

  • Mitsui Chemicals and Teijin to Integrate Domestic PET Resin for Bottles Operations
    August 6, 2010 Mitsui Chemicals, Inc. Teijin Limited Mitsui Chemicals and Teijin to Integrate Domestic PET Resin for Bottles Operations Mitsui Chemicals, Inc. (hereinafter called “MCI”) and Teijin Limited (hereinafter called “Teijin”) announced today a basic agreement to form a joint-venture company that will integrate their domestic PET (polyethylene-terephthalate) resin for bottles operations. The new company will optimize the synergistic effects of integrating their PET resin operations from supply chains to production, reinforce operational competitiveness, improve quality and cost competitiveness and enable innovative solutions to better meet customer needs and maximize overall corporate value. Background and Objective The domestic PET resin market has become increasingly competitive due to decreased demand for bottled beverages and growing imports of PET resin for bottles from other Asian countries. To respond to these tightening conditions, MCI and Teijin have been studying the potential advantages of integrating their PET resin operations and capitalizing on synergistic effects ranging from research and development to production and sales. MCI has various PET-related operations, including the production of purified terephthalic acid (PTA), while Teijin produces paraxylene (PX), a raw material used in the production of PTA, as well as produces PET resin for bottles for distribution by Teijin Chemicals Ltd. Under the newly announced agreement, the joint-venture company will integrate production, marketing and sales, and production technology. In particular, it will reinforce the total supply chain for PX and PTA production. The merger will provide MCI with stable, competitively priced supplies of PX and create a stable domestic purchaser for Teijin’s PX. The two companies will continue to pursue opportunities to maximize the synergistic effects of their collaboration and strengthen the cost advantages of their PET resin for bottles for enhanced corporate value and business sustainability.
