synopsis

Essential resource for top-line data and analysis covering the Japan semiconductors market. Includes market size and segmentation data, textual and graphical analysis of market growth trends, leading companies and macroeconomic information.

Key Highlights

- The semiconductor market consists of the manufacture and sale of integrated circuits (including analog, micro, logic and memory circuits) and discrete semiconductor devices.
- The Japanese semiconductors market generated revenues of $36.1bn in 2017, representative of a CAGR of 0.7% during 2013-2017.
- The Japanese semiconductors market has been negatively impacted by the fluctuating fortunes of the wider Japanese economy, and more specifically its industrial output. According to the OECD, Japan’s industrial production index stood at 99 in 2014 and declined to 97.8 in 2015. Unsurprisingly, the value of the Japanese semiconductors market underwent a double digit decline in value that same year. Growth in industrial production did however pick up pace in 2017, with the index rising from 97.7 in 2016 to 111.4 in 2017, which had the knock-on effect of increasing the demand for semiconductors and consequently the value by 12.9%.
- Due to the flexibility provided by integrated semiconductors, most buyers prefer them to discrete semiconductors, which can only be used for a specific purpose. Despite the preference for integrated semiconductors, demand for discrete semiconductors will persist as they perform certain tasks more efficiently and are more resistant to excessive and rough handling, and can tolerate higher degrees of heat.
