Overview In October 2022 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 ¥350B and imports accounted up to ¥85.2B, resulting in a positive trade balance of ¥265B. Between October 2021 and October 2022 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 ¥52.6B (17.7%) from ¥297B to ¥350B, while imports increased by ¥36.8B (75.9%) from ¥48.4B to ¥85.2B.
Destinations In October 2022, 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 (Â¥105B), Taiwan (Â¥98.4B), United States (Â¥52.5B), South Korea (Â¥49.3B), and Singapore (Â¥15.1B), and were imported mostly from United States (Â¥37.2B), Singapore (Â¥21.3B), South Korea (Â¥10.1B), China (Â¥4.44B), and Malaysia (Â¥3.43B).
Growth In October 2022, 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 South Korea (Â¥34.6B or 135%), China (Â¥31.5B or 58.3%), and Singapore (Â¥5.84B or 156%). In October 2022, 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 Netherlands (Â¥2.72B or 166%), Vietnam (Â¥181M or 78.2%), and India (Â¥35.1M or 214%).
