  8. Overview the world's leading products in the Japanese machinery and equipment industry

    The machinery and equipment industry are the most important industry in advanced countries. According to data from advanced countries such as Germany, Japan, and the United States, the machinery and equipment industry is the foundation that supports the country's overall manufacturing industry. Since most of the machinery and equipment industries are small and medium-sized enterprises, there are substantial difficulties in real GDP surveys. According to the survey requirements of the Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry (METI), companies with more than 50 people must be surveyed.

    Japan’s main market for work machinery is in Asia. Due to the advanced electronics industry, small vertical machining centers have been developed, which are used in the processing of electronic components and auto parts. The average unit price is about $60,000 per unit. This Japanese equipment is also ranked first in the world. As the materials used in the 3C industry are turning to brittle and hard materials, composite materials, etc., Japan is promoting the research and development of new work machinery.

    In particular, Japan’s exports of semiconductors and panel equipment, electronic machinery, etc. in 2019 were USD 24.7 billion, an increase of 9.4% over the previous year. Japan is a global leader in semiconductor and panel equipment. At present, the main sources of global equipment are Japan, the United States, and the Netherlands. Moreover, the production bases are mainly in the United States and Northeast Asian countries, where production investment is large and demand is strong, and competitors come from the United States, Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, and China. The main reason for the strong Japanese equipment is that Japan itself can dominate the electronics and semiconductor industries. There are many companies in Japan that can experiment and provide opportunities for Japanese companies to continue to research and develop such machinery and equipment.

    Japan ranks among the top production and export countries in the global machinery and equipment industry, especially in the high-end machinery and equipment industry. Japan's technical engineering capabilities, technical personnel, and system integration also occupy a leading position in the world. However, due to cultural and dietary habits, there is a gap with Germany. The industrial machinery and equipment mainly used in European and American countries, such as food packaging, agriculture, wood processing, plastic and rubber processing, textiles, etc., are obviously lagging behind Germany. It is difficult to sell to the European and American markets. The main reason is that Germany and Europe are the sources of such manufacturers. The industries in this field are mainly in Europe and North America, and this industrial equipment are more suitable for research and development in Germany and Europe.
