1. Adapting the Rapidly Changing Market Conditions
Transit through the Strait of Hormuz remains unsafe in mid-2026, resulting in sharply increased and high transportation costs to Gulf countries. During the first half of 2026, the market continued to face significant challenges, including high U.S. tariffs, labor shortages, and shifting cost structures. These uncertainties remain and it is difficult to predict when conditions will stabilize.
Despite these challenges, we expect sales of both Taiwan- and China-produced low-profile and conventional access floor systems to remain stable. In view of the elevated ocean freight costs and increasing emphasis on environmental sustainability, we plan to expand our product offerings beginning in H2 2026 by supplying all-steel access floor panel systems to certain emerging market segments, including data centers, equipment rooms, logistics warehouses, and distribution centers.
