Machines and apparatus of a kind used solely or principally for the manufacture of semiconductor boules or wafers, semiconductor devices, electronic integrated circuits or flat panel displays in   Japan

Overview In February 2024 Japan's Machines and apparatus of a kind used solely or principally for the manufacture of semiconductor boules or wafers, semiconductor devices, electronic integrated circuits or flat panel displays exports accounted up to ¥310B and imports accounted up to ¥45.3B, resulting in a positive trade balance of ¥265B. Between February 2023 and February 2024 the exports of Japan's   Machines and apparatus of a kind used solely or principally for the manufacture of semiconductor boules or wafers, semiconductor devices, electronic integrated circuits or flat panel displays have increased by ¥20B (6.9%) from ¥290B to ¥310B, while imports increased by ¥1.49B (3.39%) from ¥43.9B to ¥45.3B.

Destinations In February 2024, Machines and apparatus of a kind used solely or principally for the manufacture of semiconductor boules or wafers, semiconductor devices, electronic integrated circuits or flat panel displays were exported mostly to China (¥166B), South Korea (¥48.8B), United States (¥36.1B), Chinese Taipei (¥31.8B), and Malaysia (¥6.95B), and were imported mostly from United States (¥13.6B), Singapore (¥7.16B), Chinese Taipei (¥5.94B), South Korea (¥4.08B), and China (¥4.05B).

Growth In February 2024, the increase in Machines and apparatus of a kind used solely or principally for the manufacture of semiconductor boules or wafers, semiconductor devices, electronic integrated circuits or flat panel displays's year-by-year exports was explained primarily by an increase in exports to Chinese Taipei (¥9.14B or 19%), Ireland (¥8.02B or 599%), and Malaysia (¥2.49B or 96.6%). In February 2024, the increase in Machines and apparatus of a kind used solely or principally for the manufacture of semiconductor boules or wafers, semiconductor devices, electronic integrated circuits or flat panel displays's year-by-year imports was explained primarily by an increase in imports from Chinese Taipei (¥2.09B or 189%), Malaysia (¥570M or 59.1%), and South Korea (¥539M or 12.6%).
