Torishima Pump (6363) — Water Scarcity as a New Secular Tailwind

Japan is entering a phase of structural water stress, with major rivers running low, dams hitting 0% capacity, and water restrictions now active across 15 river systems. The root cause—historic low rainfall and persistent weather anomalies—suggests shortages will persist. Policymakers are accelerating investment in water infrastructure, including early moves toward desalination and reuse.

Globally, the shift from “water crisis” to “water bankruptcy” underscores the urgency. With <0.01% of global water usable and industrial demand rising (hydrogen, ammonia, data centers), desalination is set for secular growth, reaching an estimated ¥34 trillion market by 2034.

Against this backdrop, Torishima Pump stands well‑positioned, supported by both domestic and global demand for high‑reliability pumps used in desalination, water treatment, and critical infrastructure. Combined with the company’s ongoing operational and growth initiatives, water scarcity adds a powerful, long‑duration structural driver to the investment case.
