In the strategic outlook, Makuake's mid-term plan through September 2027 remains on track, with adjustments made based on current progress.

Looking ahead, Makuake anticipates continued geopolitical risks but expects minimal impact on operations. The company also noted a growing demand for risk-managed product launches among small and medium enterprises amid prolonged yen depreciation and rising raw material costs. Consumer behavior reflects a balanced approach, with frugal spending alongside more active consumption in areas enhancing personal fulfillment.
