Japanese Aerospace Industry and Market

World Class Launch Vehicles & Satellites

Japan is the largest aerospace industrial market in Asia.
Starting with licensed production of defense aircraft, satellites and launch vehicles, the Japanese aerospace industry has built its own capabilities inindigenous development.
One of the examples of these activities is the recently developed next generation regional jet.
Exported components of civil aircrafts have increased since the late 1990s along with the promotion of multinational development programs.
Simultaneously, the statistics of product sales of the industry in the past decade indicate that the amount of imports has neared 70%. This trade
deficit comes from the large amount airframes, engines and parts that airlines procure from abroad.
Recently, Japanese airlines acquired new airplanes from foreign companies and have extended its activities. Furthermore, low cost carrier (LCC)
services have become an emerging market in a new for the aviation industry in Japan.
Japan is placed as a potential market for the global aircraft industries.
Although the Japanese aerospace industry is still relatively small compared with the automobile, home electronic and computer industries, it shows ahuge potential to grow in the near future as a qualified partner in the global aerospace industry.

Japan is in the fourth position amongst satellite-launching countries, coming after Russia, the U.S.
and France. As of the end of 2013, more than 30 scientific and experimental satellites and morethan 50 application satellites have been developed and launched in Japan.
Nowadays, the space industry in Japan is actively committed to the ISS program, in which 16
countries participate, as well as other international joint development programs as a part of its
comprehensive space development.
Currently, Japan operates
the H-IIA and H-IIB, which
Epsilon Launch Vehicle
rival any of the world’s topclass liquid propellant launchvehicles, and the Epsilon
is among the most newly
developed solid propellant
launch vehicles and wassuccessfully launched in
September, 2013.
Japan retains the ability toexplore and utilize space in
an independent manner.

Japan’s Defense and Security

Aircraft, Engine, Components and Materials
The development and manufacturing of defense aircraft was a base of the Japanese aerospace industry. In the past 20 years, fighters, observation
helicopters, trainers, amphibious flying boats, patrol aircraft and cargo aircraft have been successfully developed and produced.
Nowadays, Japanese firms have achieved world-class level in the components and materials by creating unified supply chains which are able toprovide complete end-to-end services in Japan and overseas.
These firms cooperate with important partners in airframe production and engine parts included major global companies such as Boeing, Airbus, GE,
Pratt& Whitney and Rolls Royce.
The current examples of these activities are participation in the development and production of the 787 Dreamliner with Boeing in which the total work
share of Japanese firms accounts for approximately 35% and the A380 program in which about 20 Japanese firms are participating as suppliers.

On April 1, 2014, the Japanese government adopted new principles and guidelines on arms exports, suggesting that Japan will play a more activerole in global security.
The new principles and guidelines facilitate Japan’s cooperative development andUS-2
production of defense related equipment with the United States and other close allies, suchas the members of the NATO.
International cooperation in defense is a very important and urgent issue in Japan.
JA2016 is a unique international trade show focusing on aerospace defence and security
policy development in japan. The exhibition brings industry and government together
in further partnership, fostering international cooperative development and production
between industry and government. The related workshop program promotes futurecooperative programs between countries and provides opportunities to discuss the directionof the defense industry in the new era.
