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 December 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 ¥377B and imports accounted up to ¥55.3B, resulting in a positive trade balance of ¥322B. Between December 2021 and December 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 ¥31.8B (9.2%) from ¥345B to ¥377B, while imports increased by ¥14.4B (35.3%) from ¥40.8B to ¥55.3B.

Destinations In December 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 (¥111B), Taiwan (¥104B), South Korea (¥61.9B), United States (¥54.8B), and Ireland (¥13.2B), and were imported mostly from United States (¥17.8B), Singapore (¥11.5B), Netherlands (¥10B), South Korea (¥5.24B), and China (¥3.69B).

Growth In December 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 United States (¥31.3B or 152%), China (¥7.3B or 8.53%), and Taiwan (¥6.86B or 16.6%). In December 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 (¥5.93B or 136%), United States (¥5.27B or 53%), and South Korea (¥1.66B or 63.6%).
