But there are some use that was recoveredquickly. In the Transportation Machine, that is main user of P/M, Automobile Parts for environmentalcounterplan like EV and HEV were increased. In the field of Industrial Machine, some parts for healthwere increased because of special demand.Production volume of Bearings for Vehicles was 3,126 ton, 17.2% decrease from the previous year.Same as Machine Parts, production amount of Bearings were decreased because of COVID-19 andproduction transfer to foreign countries. Some Electric products and parts for Information Equipmentwere increased because of big demand increase, but that influence did not cover the whole decrease. -30 QQXDO 5HSRUW2020 JPMA Annual Report
