Source: Labour Force Survey (Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications) In FY211 the number of people (regular employees) working in the electrical industry (electrical machinery equipment and supplies manufacturing, information and communication electronics equipment manufacturing, electronic parts, device manufacturing and information services industries) totaled 2.76 million (a 1.1% year-on-year increase). Looking at medium-term employment trends, there is a declining trend for electrical machinery equipment and supplies and an increasing trend for information services. 3

As for profits and losses for this term, the slump in semiconductor and flat-screen TV businesses along with large-scale corporate restructuring resulted in a loss of 659.3 billion yen. With continued corporate restructuring expenditures expected, 212 losses are projected to top 211 losses at around 952 billion yen.

Source: Company financial statements Over the last 1 years, operating profit margin across the electrical industry in Japan has trended in the 2-3% range. Current income margins recovered in FY29 and 21 because of restructuring carried out in FY28. However, due to the Great East Japan Earthquake, the huge yen appreciation, and the slump in TV and semiconductor production, current profit margins have begun to decline again since 211. 6

Imports totaled 9.7796 trillion yen (a 2.4% year-on-year decrease) with some increase in products related to disaster recovery efforts. 7 FY21 FY211

However, because of the future yen exchange rates and trends in overseas demand, the actual circumstances are unpredictable. Meanwhile, roughly 8% of Japan s crude oil and LPG imports pass through the Strait of Hormuz, so we must pay attention to the situation in the Middle East and North Africa. 11
