Chemicals Business
FY2021 Results
Centering on the semiconductor and automotive markets where demand is strong, Daikin expanded sales
and increased share. Sales substantially exceeded the previous fiscal year.
✓ For Fluorocarbon Gas, applications expanded to medical fields in Europe, and sales grew.
✓ Polymers and Fluoroelastomers
- Fluoropolymers showed a sales increase in the semiconductor market and the information and
communications technology market, including LAN cables. Sales in all regions bested the previous year.
- Fluoroelastomers saw sales grow in the automotive market, and sales in all regions surpassed
the previous year.
✓ In Fine Chemicals, sales for anti-smudge surface coating agents decreased due to lower demand from
a reversal of the strong sales in the previous fiscal year for tablet PCs and smartphones. Sales for water
and oil repellent agents grew mainly in Europe, China, and Asia. By capitalizing on a recovery in
demand in the semiconductor market, we increased sales of etching gas in China and Japan.
FY2022 Forecast
We aim to expand sales and increase market share by launching differentiated products and
strengthening supply capabilities centered on the semiconductor, automotive, and information and
communications markets.
In repellant materials, we will launch products using
environmentally-conscious, non-fluorine materials for
the food product and textile markets.
We will work toward differentiation in ease of
processing and performance.
In response to high demand for EVs and 5G, we
will strengthen application development in the
markets of lithium-ion battery materials and
information and communications.
