Business Details
This is the core segment of the Hoshiden Group, engaged in the development, manufacture, and sale of Mechanical Components such as Connectors, Jacks, and Switches. Net sales for FY2026 (ending March 2026) accounted for approximately 92% of consolidated net sales. The segment centers on applications for amusement and automotive, with additional expansion into mobile communications applications. It maintains a structure for supplying set makers directly through production and sales sites in Japan and overseas.
Recent Overview
Net sales expanded sharply, up 94.9% year on year, driven by growth in amusement and automotive applications.
In FY2026 (ending March 2026), net sales in the Mechanical Components segment were ¥414,284 million (up 94.9% year on year), and segment profit was ¥16,973 million (up 58.7% year on year). The main drivers were increases in amusement and automotive applications. Meanwhile, the company decided to sell its entire equity interest in the Chinese subsidiary Dongguan Qiaotou Zhongxing Electric Co., Ltd., which ceased production on March 28, 2026. A provision for loss on affiliate restructuring of ¥723 million was recorded as an extraordinary loss.
Key Products
Growth Drivers
- Substantial increase in net sales for amusement applications (the main driver of the 94.9% year-on-year increase in segment net sales)
- Increased demand for automotive applications (steady growth in demand for in-vehicle electronic components driven by the global progress of electrification and ADAS adoption)
- Recovery trend in mobile communications applications (sales are on a recovery trend, though not yet fully recovered)
- Improved production efficiency and cost competitiveness through the transfer of production to Southeast Asian sites
- Cost reduction and quality stabilization through the promotion of mechanization, automation, and labor-saving measures
Risks
- Significant impact on business performance from fluctuations in demand for amusement-related final products (which account for the majority of segment sales)
- Risk of sales concentration with major customers (demand for amusement applications is projected to decline slightly)
- Cost and operational risks associated with the restructuring of production sites in China (loss recorded on the sale and liquidation of Dongguan Qiaotou Zhongxing Electric Co., Ltd.)
- Foreign exchange risk (a reversal to yen appreciation could act as a factor pressuring profits downward)
- Uncertainty from changes in US tariff policy and its impact on the supply chain
- The rapid pace of technological innovation in the electronics industry and the difficulty of forecasting demand
