In the fiscal year 2022, the sales revenue of the chemicals segment of Mitsubishi Chemical Group Corporation amounted to about 1.43 trillion Japanese yen. The revenue of the chemical segment decreased to around 0.89 trillion yen in fiscal year 2020, likely due to the overall decrease in production in Japan during the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, but indicated an increase in more recent fiscal years.
