JAPAN - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

In the years following World War II, government-industry cooperation, a strong work ethic, mastery of high technology, and a comparatively small defense allocation (1% of GDP) helped Japan develop a technologically advanced economy. Two notable characteristics of the post-war economy were the close interlocking structures of manufacturers, suppliers, and distributors, known as keiretsu, and the guarantee of lifetime employment for a substantial portion of the urban labor force. Both features are now eroding under the dual pressures of global competition and domestic demographic change. Japan's industrial sector is heavily dependent on imported raw materials and fuels. A tiny agricultural sector is highly subsidized and protected, with crop yields among the highest in the world. Usually self-sufficient in rice, Japan imports about 60% of its food on a caloric basis. Japan maintains one of the world's largest fishing fleets and accounts for nearly 15% of the global catch. For three decades, overall real economic growth had been spectacular - a 10% average in the 1960s, a 5% average in the 1970s, and a 4% average in the 1980s. Growth slowed markedly in the 1990s, averaging just 1.7%, largely because of the after effects of inefficient investment and an asset price bubble in the late 1980s that required a protracted period of time for firms to reduce excess debt, capital, and labor. Measured on a purchasing power parity (PPP) basis that adjusts for price differences, Japan in 2011 stood as the fourth-largest economy in the world after second-place China, which surpassed Japan in 2001, and third-place India, which edged out Japan in 2011. A sharp downturn in business investment and global demand for Japan's exports in late 2008 pushed Japan further into recession. Government stimulus spending helped the economy recover in late 2009 and 2010, but the economy contracted again in 2011 as the massive 9.0 magnitude earthquake in March disrupted manufacturing. Electricity supplies remain tight because Japan has temporarily shut down almost all of its nuclear power plants after the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear reactors were crippled by the earthquake and resulting tsunami. Estimates of the direct costs of the damage - rebuilding homes, factories, and infrastructure - range from $235 billion to $310 billion, and GDP declined almost 0.5% in 2011. Prime Minister Yoshihiko NODA has proposed opening the agricultural and services sectors to greater foreign competition and boosting exports through membership in the US-led Trans-Pacific Partnership trade talks and by pursuing free-trade agreements with the EU and others, but debate continues on restructuring the economy and reining in Japan's huge government debt, which exceeds 200% of GDP. Persistent deflation, reliance on exports to drive growth, and an aging and shrinking population are other major long-term challenges for the economy.

Key Organizational Changes

Its technological base can be divided under six, namely, explosives technologies, dye technologies, pharmaceutical technologies, agrochemical technologies, catalyst technologies and resin technologies. This, robust platform of technologies helped Nippon to expand its business segments, as in 1916 the company started manufacturing industrial explosives but it slowly forayed into production of fuses and detonating caps, gradually developing into a comprehensive explosives manufacturer. In 1928, the company forayed into dye business with the acquisition of Teikoku Senryo Seizou by Nihon Kayaku Seizou. While, in 1932, the company diversified its business segments into pharmaceuticals space by entering into full fledged production of Asprin and Penicillin. Furthermore, in 1934 the company entered the Agro-Chemical space by starting the production of CHLOROPICRIN.

Technology Fusion Strategy

Nippon has continuously expanded its core technological base and focused on technological fusion of its core technologies to create new products and new business areas to leverage upon. Its technological base can be divided under six, namely, explosives technologies, dye technologies, pharmaceutical technologies, agrochemical technologies, catalyst technologies and resin technologies. This, robust platform of technologies helped Nippon to expand its business segments, as in 1916 the company started manufacturing industrial explosives but it slowly forayed into production of fuses and detonating caps, gradually developing into a comprehensive explosives manufacturer.

Also, in 1959, Nippon joined the Polymer Material R&D Association to begin production of acetylene and ethylene. Thus, the company followed a strategy of diversification, when it acquires capabilities in a particular industrial domain, it moves into other related businesses creating a fusion of the technological base. This strategy of the company helped it in past to diversify and helped it to become a well renowned conglomerate.

 

Sturdy Research and Development Activities

Nippon has significant research findings through its focused research and development activities. The company's research and development expenditure relating to continuing operations were JPY10.41bn in 2011, JPY11.66bn in 2010, JPY9.85bn in 2009 and JPY10.20bn in 2008, which accounted for 7-8% of the company’s total revenue. Its research operations are principally carried out at its four laboratories, namely: functional chemicals R&D laboratories, pharmaceuticals research laboratories, safety systems development laboratories, and agrochemicals laboratories. In the functional chemical business segment, the company is focused on the development of next generation environmentally friendly products. While, in the pharmaceutical space, it sells 25 products of anti-cancer drugs representing 23 product types and its research activities is focused on developing new treatment options for cancer, heart disease and organ transplant rejection. Moreover, in the safety system business segments, its R&D efforts are focused on the development of new technologies and strengthening its global production system for future requirements. Thus, the focused research activity incorporated by the company has lead to the development of a wide range of product portfolio. Nippon is focused on the constant evaluation of its research activities for developing highly specialized and functional products.

 

Diversified Business Segments

Nippon leverages its diversified business segments to maintain and improve its relative competitive edge in the global economy. The company principally classifies its business operations into four main groups: functional chemicals group, pharmaceuticals group, safety systems group and agrochemicals business. The functional chemical segment manufactures and sells functional materials, such as optical functional films for PDPs (plasma display panels), resists for semiconductors, MEMS (microelectromechanical systems), epoxy resin, ultraviolet curable resin and high-performance chemicals; electronic information materials, including sealants for liquid crystal displays (LCDs), resin for optical discs, colour for ink-jet printers and optical films, as well as catalysts, such as catalysts for acrylic and methacrylic acid manufacturing. The pharmaceutical segment supplies pharmaceutical products, drug substances, medical intermediates, and diagnostic medicines, among others. The safety systems segment provides inflators for airbags and micro gas generators for seatbelt pretensioners. The agrochemicals segment manufactures and sells agrochemicals. This segment also sells dyes and special color materials for non-fabrics and manufactures detonating powder, black gunpowder and pyrotechnic products. Diversified business segments help the company to increase its customer base, thereby reduce product liability risk.

 

Weaknesses

 

Decline in Financial Performance

Nippon Kayaku reported decline in revenue in the fiscal year ended December 2011, which has affected its margins. The company’s revenue dropped from JPY148.8 billion in 2010 to JPY147.1 billion in 2011, reflecting a decline of 1.2%. A decline in the company’s revenue is mainly attributed to a decline in sales of its functional materials business and pharmaceutical businesses. The functional materials business experienced a decline in its sales of its epoxy resins for semiconductor encapsulation and UV-curing resins. In the area of pharmaceuticals, sales of active pharmaceutical ingredients experienced a dip. The company’s safety systems business was hit by great East Japan earthquake, the effects of flooding in Thailand. Owing a decline in revenue the company recorded a decline in operating income from JPY225.9 billion in 2010 to JPY189.1 billion in 2011. A substantial increase in its SGA expenditure, the company recorded 12.3% decline net income from JPY130 billion in 2010 to JPY114 billion in 2011. The company also recorded a decline in profitability ratios for the fiscal year 2011 as compared to 2010. The company’s operating margin and net profit margin declined to 12.8% and 7.7% in 2011, declining from 15.2% and 8.7% respectively in 2010.

 

Geographic Concentration

The company's overwhelming dependence on the Japanese market for a substantial portion of its revenue exposes it to associated risks and drawbacks. The company has been highly dependent on Japan to drive its revenue growth. The dependence of the company on third party can be evaluated from the amount of sales generated through third party, which is JPY141.03bn out of the total sales, which is JPY152.12bn. During the fiscal year 2011, the company generated sales worth JPY122.47bn from Japan, which is about 84% of the total revenue thus the company's financial position can be adversely impacted if there is any significant change in their purchasing pattern. The company has to strategically increase its revenue contribution from other geographic segments so as to sustain its revenue growth and profitability.

 

Dependence on Third Party Distributors

Dependence on third party distributors has many associated concern with it, such as termination of contracts and low revenue recognitions, which can adversely affect the company’s products sales. Following a third party agreement confines chances of commercialization of product on its own and the company becomes dependent on the efforts of these distributors for its revenue generation. Thus, the dependency on third party distributors and inability to develop its own marketing and distribution network will be a serious cause of concern for the company.

 

 

Opportunities

 

Economic Recovery in Japan

Nippon Kayaku, which is a diversified company operating in various segments including functional chemicals, pharmaceuticals safety systems and several other is expected to find considerable opportunity in Japan’s efforts to rebuild the economy. During the last year the Japanese economy was badly affected by major natural disasters including the earthquake in Eastern Japan and floods in Thailand. Rebounding from the effects of the natural disasters, production by automobile manufacturers is expected to pick, which in turn is expected to boost the company’s safety systems business.

 

Focus on Oncology

The company could benefit from its focus on oncology. Successful commercialization of the company’s key anti-cancer drugs arterial infusion IA, Paclitaxel Injection, Bicalutamide injection and Arboplatin Intravenous Injection. Based on the in-house research, global oncology therapeutics market increased was worth nearly $33.3 billion in 2010, and is expected to witness moderate growth of 5.69% during 2010–2017, and is expected to reach $48.8 billion mark by 2017. Within the oncology therapeutics market - breast, colorectal, lung, prostate, and pancreatic cancers have the largest market in terms of the number of patients diagnosed. The overall oncology market will witness moderate growth phase, with prostate cancer and ovarian cancer therapeutics markets are expected with high growth trajectories during the forecast period. In addition, indications such as colorectal cancer, breast cancer, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are expected to witness moderate growth trends. Furthermore, other factors such as rapid uptake of targeted therapies in key cancer indications with increased efficacy and reduced toxicity is expected to contribute to the growth. The prevalence of cancer is expected to double in the coming two decades owing to the steady increase in the elderly population. Senior citizens already contribute a great deal to the sales of drugs for most of the age related cancers such as breast cancer, prostate cancer, lung cancer, colorectal cancer, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, melanoma, and brain cancer. Nippon Kayaku can leverage this market potential in oncology to fuel its business growth in future.

 

Changing Demographics

The increasing population of people aged above 60, who consume more medical solutions than the younger population and are more prone to chronic diseases, holds significant market potential for the company. The United Nations Population Division estimated that the number of people aged above 60 years throughout the world will triple to nearly 2 billion by 2050. Globally, the population of older persons is growing at a rate of 2.6% annually. According to the United Nations Population Division, people aged 60 are projected to account for 22% of the total world population by 2050, up from 11% in 2009. In developed economies such as the US, the UK, France, Germany and Japan, the percentage of people aged 65 and older is in double digits and is expected to continue to grow for the next seven years. While developed countries have managed to slow down their overall population growth, the longevity in the elderly population will cause concern in the future. Such a situation will increase the healthcare costs in those countries. The pace of population aging is faster in developing countries than in developed countries. Due to the large volume of the overall population in countries such as China and India, the number of people becoming older is quite high. In 2009, the number of persons aged above 60 increased three and a half times to 737 million globally. There were 12 countries with more than 10 million people aged above 60, including China (160 million), India (89 million), the US (56 million), Japan (38 million), the Russian Federation (25 million) and Germany (21 million). By 2050, 32 countries are expected to have over 10 million people aged above 60, including five countries with more than 50 million older people: China (440 million), India (316 million), the US (111 million), Indonesia (72 million) and Brazil (64 million). This elderly population is expected to exert increasing pressure on the healthcare system.

 

 

Threats

 

Market Dynamics

The technology and communication sector is rapidly growing. Nippon is providing a broad variety of materials and components, especially film and molded resin products for flat-panel displays in this sector. The overturn in industry standards and changes in the supply/demand balance can have the market environment to undergo radical changes within a short span of time. Market dynamics such as these, could result in reduced sales , which further can lead to businesses being forced to downsize or seize operating from a particular market.

 

Uncertain R&D Outcomes

Adverse or inconclusive results from preclinical testing or clinical trials may substantially delay or halt the development of the company's various product candidates, consequently affecting its timeliness for profitability. The outcome of clinical trials is always a subject of uncertainty. After the discovery of a new compound, substantial amount of money and a great deal of time need to be invested to successfully launch a new product. Moreover, it may become necessary to discontinue clinical development if the effectiveness of a drug is not proven as initially expected, or if serious adverse effects arise. In addition, pharmaceuticals are subject to legal restrictions in every country and authorization from regulatory authorities is a prerequisite for a product launch in every country. It is difficult to accurately foresee when approvals for a new product could be obtained.

 

Environmental Protocols

Compliance to environmental protocols is seriously considered among the industrial countries. The Kyoto Protocol came into the picture during 2005 to decrease the emission of greenhouse gases by the nations. According to this protocol by 2012, Japan has to reduce the greenhouse gases by 14%. The reduction target for Japan is 6%. The government will force the industries in Japan to reduce the emission of gases. As a result, the company should reduce the emission of green house gases by implementing new technologies. This may incur additional expenditures for the company increasing its production costs.

 

 

Consolidation of Japanese Chemical Industry

The competition in the Japanese chemical industry is increasing. The current restructuring between the major players lead to consolidation within the industry. Some of the major contenders in the Japanese chemical industry already formed alliances. The major alliances include alliance between Idemitsu Kosan and Mitsui Chemicals; and the joint venture between Ube-Maruzen Polyethylene, Maruzen Petrochemicals and Ube Industries. These restructuring activities resulted in consolidated market position of these major players. Consolidation of Japanese chemical industry may lead to pricing pressures on Nippon. It may affect the market position of the company in the chemical sector in Japan.
