Business Details
Centered on the three major synthetic fibers—nylon, polyester, and acrylic—the segment manufactures and sells yarns, cotton, spun yarns, woven and knitted fabrics, nonwovens, artificial leather, and apparel products. It spans a wide range of applications from apparel to automotive airbags, industrial, agricultural, and life science uses, having built a globally integrated supply chain business from textiles through to sewn products. In FY2026 (ending March 2026), revenue from external customers was ¥1,051,102 million, making it the largest segment, accounting for approximately 40.7% of consolidated revenue.
Recent Overview
Both apparel and industrial applications trended steadily, with revenue and business profit both increasing year on year
In FY2026 (ending March 2026), the Fibers & Textiles Business posted revenue from external customers of ¥1,051,102 million, up 4.0% year on year, and business profit of ¥68,041 million, up 6.0% year on year. In apparel applications, while the effects of the sluggish European market and intensifying competition from overseas products continued, overall performance was generally steady. In industrial applications, amid a sense of stagnation in market conditions particularly for automotive uses, the company worked to improve costs. Separately, a warehouse fire occurred at P.T. TAK Textiles Indonesia, a subsidiary manufacturing and selling fiber products in Indonesia, resulting in a loss of ¥1,407 million (recorded as a non-recurring loss at the operating profit level). Impairment losses declined significantly, from ¥6,406 million in the prior period to ¥1,057 million in the current period.
Key Products
Growth Drivers
- Improved profitability through price corrections and a shift to higher value-added products via "strategic pricing"
- Contribution to industrial-use profits through expansion of the automotive artificial leather and airbag businesses
- Development and deployment of high value-added products utilizing the innovative composite spinning technology NANODESIGN®
- Capturing demand for sustainable materials through the rebuilding of recycling supply chains
- Strengthening the global integrated supply framework for apparel applications, including deliveries to the Middle East and Asia
Risks
- Pressure on apparel-use profitability from the continued slump in the European market and intensifying competition from overseas products
- Stagnant market conditions in automotive applications (intensifying competition amid production adjustments and EV shift by domestic and overseas automakers)
- Sluggish growth in industrial fiber demand due to intensifying competition in the Chinese EV market
- Cost pressure from persistently elevated raw material prices
- Operational risks such as fires at overseas subsidiaries (a warehouse fire at the Indonesian subsidiary resulted in a recorded loss of ¥1,407 million)
- Risk of global economic stagnation and supply chain shifts stemming from US tariff measures
