The golden sign of Japan's manufacturing industry is undoubtedly fading. In terms of it, ai, the Internet, electric vehicles and , all lag behind China. In response to this, Hitachi Electric CEO Toshiaki Higashihara has begun to worry that Japan's manufacturing industry will become a sunset industry or even disappear in the future.
However, Japan still has many leading technologies, occupying some key areas of manufacturing. Refer to the article " Nikkei News " in Japan's manufacturing industry "The general trend is not going" to see how the Japanese summarize it.
1 Semiconductor Manufacturing equipment and materials production, Japan still has its own unique skills and occupies a key position in the upstream production of high-tech. Including photoresist , etching gas, fluorinated polyimide. 80% of South Korea's semiconductor material relies on Japan's imports. TSMC is also highly dependent on such materials.
2 Mobile CMOS image sensor, Sony has more than half of the global share. In addition, there are lithium batteries, polarizers, and small and medium-sized LCD panels. (A variety of mobile phone parts) and Sony's various electronic devices, audio and video games still have a good market.
3 Special materials for aircraft parts, such as carbon fiber , Toray , Teijin , Mitsubishi occupy 6 parts of the world. Mitsubishi, Kawasaki Heavy Industries also undertakes the structural components of medium-sized passenger aircraft
3 Industrial Robots: Japan's Fanako and Yaskawa Motor are two of the top four in the world (the top four accounts for 70% of China's share)
4 Space Technology : Japan has certain space exploration technology, such as the "Halababu II" that the Japanese themselves blew.
5 In addition, there are some components, such as industrial screws, sink pressure glass, photomultiplier tube , precision small motors for hard disks, and "precision gyros" for satellite . The unique skills of these small and medium-sized enterprises also have a high market share at present.
Therefore, the overall crisis facing Japan is mainly the challenges brought by the Internet. Some large Japanese brands are no longer touted by customers in China and South Korea. These current Japanese talents have the possibility of decline with the arrival of the potential industrial revolution.
However, before this, Japan's manufacturing industry's role in the midstream industry was still irreplaceable and critical. However, it is probably not true that it occupies most of the high-end manufacturing industry.
