External Environment

Consumer area

Strong ongoing growth expected in the global video games market

The global game content market continues to grow against the backdrop of rising download sales and the proliferation of game distribution platforms. Although the Amusement Machine Sales and Amusement Center Operations markets were hard hit by COVID-19, the prizes began to rally in 2021 and the market is recovering gradually.

Diversification of the way to interact with games and expansion of eco system

The acceleration of Digital Transformation (DX) and the emergence of new technologies such as 5G and cloud services have greatly influenced and shaped the entertainment industry. Traditionally, games and other kinds of entertainment-related content were distributed separately by device and by region in a form of package. Nowadays however, it is easier than ever for our products and services to reach users all over the world via digital distribution channels.

 

 

The way people interact with games is also becoming far more diverse than in the past. Game players are naturally at the center of the ecosystem. The broader ecosystem is also expanding, though, as games draw together many people on a global scale, to encompass not only game players but also, for example, streamers who broadcast their games and their viewers. These factors are also expected to fuel growth in the game population going forward.

Example of an ecosystem based on video game

Amusement Machine Area

  FY2014 FY2021
Amusement machine sales ¥161.1 billion ¥152.0 billion
  FY2014 FY2021
Revenues from amusement center operations ¥422.2 billion ¥449.2 billion

The Amusement Machine and Amusement Center Operations markets were in tough situation as they were hard hit by COVID-19, but they are in gradual recovery trend due to the strong performance of prizes since 2021. On the other hand, the impact of supply chain disruptions and raw material price hikes becomes apparent recently.

FY2025/3 Forecast

・Pachislot: Expect the reactionary decline from the strong sales of Smart Pachislot Hokuto No Ken in previous fiscal year

・Pachinko: Unit sales increase from the previous fiscal year due to the introduction of e Hokuto No Ken 10, our first smart pachinko, and other factors

External Environment

Along with the slow decline of the player population since 1995, there has been a long-term downtrend in the overall number of pachinko halls, as well as in the number of machines installed and in annual machine turnover. On the other hand, the opening of large pachinko halls and an increase in locations of major hall operators has caused a rise in the number of machines installed per pachinko hall.

In the pachislot and pachinko industry, while the number of pachinko parlors is trending lower amid significant changes in regulatory and market environment, the size of pachinko parlors continues to become larger. As a result, the number of machines per parlor is growing. Removal of pachislot and pachinko machines comply with previous regulations was almost completed by the end of January 2022, as the market completed the migration to machines that comply with current regulation. In pachinko , a number of popular new pachinko machines that conply with new regulations were introduced and in pachislot, the relaxation of voluntary regulations continues intermittently. Concerns have emerged for rising raw materials prices due to the effects of factors such as the global chip shortage, logistics disruptions, and rising oil prices.

Given these circumstances, the Group must strive to maintain and grow its market share by developing and supplying products that offer innovative gameplay; meet market needs; and comply with regulations. Another management issues is the need to improve profitability in various ways, including promoting the standardization of pachislot and pachinko machine components, reducing costs through reuse of components and other measures, and more efficient development.
