Management's newly announced Vision 2030 targets a 2 to 3% revenue CAGR and business income of over ¥80 billion by 2030, supported by supply chain automation, AI-driven logistics and back-office digital transformation expected to deliver cost savings of ¥30 to ¥35 billion by 2030. The company still faces pressure from shrinking vending volumes and an aging population that could cap demand for ready-to-drink beverages.
