Functional Water Business
(1) Use highly functional water
(2) Help the people of Japan lead healthy lives
(3) Become an important industry for health care,
agriculture and industry sectors
(4) Utilize technologies created in Japan
22
Electrolyzed Hydrogen Water (EHW) System
Advantages of EHW systems
(1) Improves health
Effect/efficacy of controlled medical device:
Improved gastrointestinal conditions
(2) Ability to use fresh EHW at home at any time
(3) Low cost / Approx. 5 yen per liter
(when using TRIM ION HYPER for six years and replacing the cartridge once each year)
(4) Ecology
Environmentally responsible due to the use of fewer PET bottles and ability to
recycle purification cartridges
Source: Yano Research Institute
“2014 White Paper on Water Purifiers/Water Conditioners”
About 5% of Japan’s approximately 50 million households use EHW systems
(water purifier ownership rate is about 40% for reference)
The utilization rate is expected to increase to 20% (10 million households)
(¥1 trillion market at ¥100,000 per unit)
Based on the outlook for a 30% market share, the goal is to have Nihon Trim EHW
systems in 3 million households.
(1) EHW systems: ¥300 billion
(2) Purification cartridge sales: ¥20 billion/year
(assuming a 70% replacement ratio)
