Fujifilm said after-sales “rose sharply as the market recovered from the COVID-19 pandemic.” It also said, “We will accelerate global development, including new OEM supplies.”

Revenue for the segment’s business-solutions business increased year-over-year, due to sales in Japan and steady performance of the business-process outsourcing (BPO) business, mainly outside of Japan.
