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 May 2021 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 ¥226B and imports accounted up to ¥39.6B, resulting in a positive trade balance of ¥187B. Between May 2020 and May 2021 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 ¥43.8B (24%) from ¥182B to ¥226B, while imports decreased by ¥-4.14B (-9.47%) from ¥43.7B to ¥39.6B.

Destinations: In May 2021, 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 (¥101B), Taiwan (¥43.7B), South Korea (¥35.6B), United States (¥25.9B), and Singapore (¥6.21B), and were imported mostly from United States (¥17.3B), Singapore (¥9.79B), South Korea (¥3.93B), China (¥2.81B), and Taiwan (¥1.56B).

Growth: In May 2021, 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 China (¥39.5B or 63.9%), Taiwan (¥8.05B or 22.6%), and Singapore (¥2.97B or 91.9%). In May 2021, the decrease 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 a decrease in imports from Singapore (¥-3.8B or -28%), China (¥-616M or -18%), and South Korea (¥-577M or -12.8%).
