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 September 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 ¥397B and imports accounted up to ¥52.6B, resulting in a positive trade balance of ¥344B. Between September 2023 and September 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 ¥82.6B (26.3%) from ¥314B to ¥397B, while imports decreased by ¥-14.3B (-21.3%) from ¥66.9B to ¥52.6B.

Destinations In September 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 (¥195B), United States (¥58.4B), Chinese Taipei (¥56.5B), South Korea (¥48.1B), and Singapore (¥19.4B), and were imported mostly from United States (¥16.5B), Singapore (¥9.43B), South Korea (¥8.37B), China (¥3.8B), and Chinese Taipei (¥3.4B).

Growth In September 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 September 2024, 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 Netherlands (¥-8.89B or -86.5%), United States (¥-1.22B or -8%), and Germany (¥-154M or -19.7%).
