Overview
Mobility
Overseas, healthy demand for elastomers, functional compounds and polypropylene compounds continued for automotive applications.
Healthy demand continued in functional polymers especially for information and communication technology applications.
Healthcare
Sales were stable in vision care materials.
In nonwoven fabrics, consumption of premium paper diapers remained firm, but demand was continually impacted by the digestion of distribution inventories.
Sales in dental materials were stable mainly in Europe and North America.
Food & Packaging
Sales for coating & engineering materials and functional films & sheets were stable.
Sales in agrochemicals were dropped from the corresponding period in FY2015.
Basic Materials
Healthy domestic demand continued and operating rates remained at high levels for naphtha crackers and other production facilities.
The overseas market for petrochemical and other such products remained strong due mainly to disruptions at major suppliers.
Business restructuring and cost cutting also progressed as scheduled in bulk & commodity products.
