President's Message

I would like to express our sincere gratitude for your continued support and to thank you for using our products.

There are still no signs of an end to the uncertain global situation, including the impact of changes in the economic policies of major countries on international trade and protracted geopolitical conflicts. In Japan as well, the business environment of medical institutions is expected to remain challenging due to various structural factors, including demographic trends, revisions to the medical fee reimbursement system, and labor shortages.

In response to these circumstances, we have been moving forward with major transformations since last year to further promote the provision of clinically valuable solutions to our customers and patients. Specifically, Canon Medical Systems will become fully integrated into Canon Inc. by January 2026, allowing the strengths of both companies to be merged and leveraged by reforming the business structure and enhancing the organization. This represents the third major step, which can be referred to as "Canon Medical Business Phase 3.0", following the first step when Canon entered the medical business in 1940 and the second step when Toshiba Medical Systems joined the Canon Group in 2016.
