How Murata Makes Money
Murata makes money by designing, manufacturing, and selling advanced electronic components to device makers, automakers, industrial customers, and communications equipment suppliers. The largest revenue pool is components, including MLCCs, inductors, and EMI filters. Devices and Modules add high-frequency devices, communication modules, batteries, power supplies, and functional devices. The model depends on materials science, process control, customer qualification cycles, and high-volume manufacturing rather than consumer branding.
Financial Performance
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, Murata revenue increased 5.0% to 1,830,856 million yen. Components contributed 1,159,734 million yen, or 63.3% of revenue, and Devices and Modules contributed 655,966 million yen, or 35.9%. By application, Communication was 652,957 million yen, Mobility 474,484 million yen, Computers 310,392 million yen, Home Electronics 142,694 million yen, and Industry and Others 250,329 million yen. Profit attributable to owners of the parent was 233,920 million yen.
Competitive Position
Murata competes with TDK, Taiyo Yuden, Samsung Electro-Mechanics, Yageo, and other component makers, but it defends its position through scale in MLCCs, materials engineering, product breadth, and long-running OEM relationships. The strategic question is whether growth in automotive electronics, AI infrastructure, industrial devices, and high-reliability applications can keep offsetting weaker consumer electronics cycles.
