Dairy Restructuring and Product Innovations Most Critical to Restoring Meiji’s Food Profitability
Margin expansion through growth in value-added health foods and an enlarged overseas sales scale will serve as a key driving force behind Meiji’s midterm growth. In the near term, restoring margins squeezed by rapid Japanese yen depreciation and cost inflation and minimizing China losses is a priority. Meanwhile, restructuring efforts to enhance pharmaceutical profitability have borne fruit. Pharma profit growth, lifted by new vaccines and overseas expansion, will hold equal importance as food to the fairly challenging growth target of more than 11% CAGR in operating profits for the three-year plan ending March 2027.
