Fig1

In 2019, Machine Parts Production volume for Vehicles was 81,463 ton, 2.3% decrease from theprevious year.
The production amount of Vehicle parts, that is the main user of P/M in Japan, was good condition
until the first half of the year, after the second half of the year, because of the trade friction between big
countries and the depression of the rising nations, the export was decreased. In Japan, because of theconsumption tax increase, nature disaster and the production increase in foreign countries owned by
Japanese companies, the production amount was decreased.
Production volume of Bearings for Vehicles was 3,776 ton, 13.3% decrease from the previous year.
Because of the miniaturize of the motor for the transport machine and the decrease of foreign
demands, same as Machine Parts, the production amount of Bearings was decreased. In future, thetrend of miniaturize and the production increase by the spot in foreign countries are expected. The
development to satisfy the customer demands like high accuracy and high efficiency is demanded for
Bearing manufacturers.
