The economy in fiscal 2023 continued to see recovery in the corporate and household sectors in the U.S. In China, there was downward pressure due to the impact of movement restrictions caused by the expansion of COVID-19, and the subsequent recovery was only moderate. In Japan, gradual recovery continued primarily in the household sector. In Europe, the paces of recovery were even slower in the corporate and household sectors. There was also the impact of the rise in some material prices, high logistics costs and the prolonged electronic components shortage.
In this environment, the Mitsubishi Electric Group has been working harder than ever to maximize profitability by accelerating business transformation and its business portfolio strategy under a new business area management structure, while continuously implementing initiatives to bolster its competitiveness and business structure.
Revenue
Revenue increased by 526.9 billion yen year-on-year to 5,003.6 billion yen owing primarily to the weaker yen. The Life segment saw an increase in the building systems business in Asia and Japan, and the air conditioning systems & home products business also increased due mainly to an expansion in demand for air conditioners in Europe, Japan and North America. The Industry and Mobility segment saw an increase in the factory automation systems business due mainly to an increase in demand for capital expenditures related to products in the decarbonization area. The automotive equipment business also increased due to robust demand for electric vehicle-related equipment. The Business Platform segment saw an increase in the information systems & network service business due mainly to increases in the system integrations and the IT infrastructure service businesses.

Forecast for Fiscal 2024
The global economy in fiscal 2024 is expected to continue recovering slowly, but a slowdown is anticipated mainly in Europe and the U.S. due primarily to prolonged inflation and monetary tightening in various countries and regions. There is also an increase in geopolitical risks, which raises a concern about changes in business environment beyond expectations.
Under these circumstances, the Mitsubishi Electric Group aims to achieve its Medium-Term Management Plan towards fiscal 2026 by reviewing progress to date and conducting various initiatives of its Key Growth Businesses, which accelerates and promotes business restructuring including M&A.
The Group also aims to improve profitability and capital efficiency by implementing specific actions, such as continuing passing rising costs onto prices in light of high material prices and logistics costs, and accelerating resource shift by identifying businesses with issues and unprofitable models. The Group pursues a procurement system for optimal global production, considering geopolitical risks in the supply chain.
