emarketforecasts - Japan

Abstract

Japanese electronics output increased by an estimated 4.0% in 2006 and followed a decline of 4.0% in the prior year. Similar to the US and countries in Western Europe , Japan is being impacted by the migration of production to low-cost locations. By the end of 2006, electronics output had fallen by 23.5% from the peak in 2000.

Consumer electronics, once the mainstay of the Japanese electronics industry, continues to lose share as Japanese manufacturers shift production to low cost countries in the Far East . In 1985 consumer products accounted for 23% of total output but this had fallen to 11% in 2006. The sector, however, has benefited from the move to digital products. Today components and computing account for the largest share of production accounting for 45% and 17% of output, respectively.
