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 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 (¥105B), Taiwan (¥98.4B), United States (¥52.5B), South Korea (¥49.3B), and Singapore (¥15.1B), and were imported mostly from United States (¥37.2B), Singapore (¥21.3B), South Korea (¥10.1B), China (¥4.44B), and Malaysia (¥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 (¥34.6B or 135%), China (¥31.5B or 58.3%), and Singapore (¥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 (¥2.72B or 166%), Vietnam (¥181M or 78.2%), and India (¥35.1M or 214%).
