## 1 Revitalization of Regional Economies through ICT (3) Regional Revitalization through Regional Informatization (Utilization of ICT)

O"The ICT Comprehensive Use Index" was created based on the utilization of the ICT system in municipalities, by calculating the scores (*) of system functions of eight administrative fields (seven items for each field except for the transportation/tourism field with six items, 55 items in total) and the timing of introduction in each. Among the 1,748 municipalities, out of 550 the highest score was 430 and the lowest was 0, and the average was 80.4. The result shows that while there are municipalities taking a highly innovative approach, many municipalities are still not able to fully utilize ICT (Fig. 1-10).

OViewing the utilization of ICT by city categorization reveals that the average score is higher and the utilization level of ICT is higher among larger municipalities such as designated cities. However, there are also other municipalities scoring higher in terms of the ICT Comprehensive Use Index, which are taking proactive approaches (Fig. 1-11, Fig. 1-12).

$ ^{*} $ Scores for each ICT system are calculated as 10 for an introduction in 2006 or before, 8 for an introduction in 2007 or after, and 0 for not being introduced.

## 1 Revitalization of Regional Economies through ICT (3) Regional Revitalization through Regional Informatization (Overcoming Regional Disadvantages and the Utilization of ICT)

OThere are no major differences in the ICT Utilization Index in fields such as medical care, welfare and healthcare between aging municipalities and municipalities with depopulated areas, and others. However, the difference is greater in fields such as administrative services and education/culture. In municipalities including islands, ICT is utilized more in all fields compared to municipalities that do not utilize ICT (Fig. 1-13).

The result of principal component analysis also shows that more than 40% of municipalities utilizing ICT intensively in the welfare/healthcare, medical care, industry/agriculture and transportation/tourism field are depopulated or aging municipalities (Fig. 1-14).

(*) Fig. 1-14 plots 1,748 municipalities throughout Japan as a result of the principal component analysis, by using extracting welfare and regional revitalization axes as a new analysis axis to show the structure, such as the strength of relations between different ICT systems. Municipalities positioned on the upper side of vertical axis (welfare axis) are characteristic of intensive use of ICT in the fields of welfare/healthcare and medical care, while those positioned on the right side of vertical axis (regional revitalization axis) are utilizing ICT intensively in fields such as industry/agriculture and transportation/tourism.
## 1 Revitalization of Regional Economies through ICT (3) Regional Revitalization through Regional Informatization (Key Factors of ICT Utilization)

OWhen municipalities implementing both the establishment of organizational structure, such as the establishment of exclusive departments in charge of ICT, and the formulation of an ICT plan, are compared with municipalities implementing neither of them, the average score of the ICT Use Index differs significantly, with the former scoring more than double the latter. It shows that the establishment of organizational structure and the formulation of an ICT plan result in effective use of ICT (Fig. 1-15).
OICT is utilized effectively in municipalities developing ICT systems based on wide-range cooperation. Therefore, it is considered that the joint development of systems by several municipalities will be the key in promoting efficient use of ICT (Fig. 1-16).
OSupportive measures by the government are effective in promoting the utilization of ICT in municipalities. However, even if the municipalities use such supportive measures, the average score of the ICT Use Index in municipalities with an established organizational structure is about twice as high as that in municipalities without such a system. It is important to establish organizational structure in order to take full advantage of supportive measures (Fig. 1-17).

## 1 Revitalization of Regional Economies through ICT (3) Regional Revitalization through Regional Informatization (Evaluation by Municipalities on ICT Utilization)

The results of subjective evaluation on the utilization of ICT by municipalities indicate that more than 70% of municipalities thought it was "effective" in all fields for all items (Fig. 1-18).

Fig. 1-18 Effect of ICT utilization in each field

(*) In terms of the effect of ICT utilization, the total of the percentages of “fully effective” and “fairly effective” for five items, namely (i) improvement of the efficiency of administrative cost reduction, (ii) expansion of areas covered such as the offering of new administrative services, (iii) improvement of the accuracy of information and others, (iv) improvement of promptness such as the shortening of times to respond to the needs of residents, and (v) increase in the amount of information provided, has been calculated.

## 2 Growth of ICT industry and Strengthening of its International Competitiveness (1) Growth of the ICT Industry

OWhile the ICT industry accounts for about 10% of nominal domestic output and is the largest of all industries, its share of the entire industry is slightly decreasing. However, the real domestic output has been growing consistently since 1995, so it can be said that the ICT industry is an industry where price decline is quite notable compared to other industries (Fig. 2-1 to Fig. 2-3). OThe contribution ratio of the ICT industry to real GDP growth was 37.0% in 2006. Thus, the ICT industry has an impact on economic growth (Fig. 2-4).

Fig. 2-1 Nominal domestic output of major industries (2006)

(2) Status of the Competitiveness of the ICT Industry (Market Share and Growth Potential)

The size of the Japanese market related to ICT accounts for about 10% of the global market. It is also a highly mature market and the growth is slowing down (Fig. 2-5).

OIt is important to develop businesses in markets in the Asia-Pacific region, the Middle East, Africa, Eastern Europe and Latin America where future growth is anticipated in order to maintain the growth of the ICT industry(Fig. 2-6)

Fig. 2-5 Share of ICT related markets in the world by region (2007)

Fig. 2-6 Growth of ICT related markets in the world by region (average of 2005-2007)

* For semiconductor devices, the Middle East, Africa and Eastern Europe are included in “Western Europe” and Latin America is included in “North America.”

☑ Differences among markets in Latin America, Eastern Europe and the Middle East/Africa are as follows.

- Growth in mobile communication service, mobile communication terminal equipment and fixed-line communication service is higher in the Middle East/Africa than Latin America and Eastern Europe. (Average growth rates in 2005–2007 are as follows: mobile communication service: 39.2% in the Middle East/Africa, 15.0% in Eastern Europe, 26.5% in Latin America; mobile communication terminal equipment: 24.9% in Middle East/Africa, 11.2% in Eastern Europe, 15.7% in Latin America; fixed-line communication service: 9.8% in the Middle East/Africa, 1.7% in Eastern Europe, 6.7% in Latin America)

- Growth of information system terminal equipment is higher in Latin America than Eastern Europe and the Middle East/Africa, and the share is also larger.

(Average growth rates in 2005–2007 are as follows: 10.1% in Middle East/Africa, 21.5% in Eastern Europe, 22.7% in Latin America)

- Compared to markets given above, differences in growth between the Middle East/Africa, Eastern Europe and Latin America are smaller in other markets.

O While the carrier in China is the world’s largest in terms of the number of mobile communication service subscriptions, carriers in Japan, the United States and Europe are highly ranked in terms of sales (Fig. 2-7, Fig. 2-8).

OAs for major portal sites, while the U.S. operates its business globally, there are hardly any users of Japanese sites abroad (Fig. 2-9)

## 2 Growth of ICT industry and Strengthening of its International Competitiveness (2) Status of the Competitiveness of the ICT Industry (Presence of Japan (ii))

In terms of market share, Japan has advantages in the audiovisual equipment field, such as flat screen TV and DVD recorders, as well as in the fields of photocopiers and optoelectronics devices (sensor, laser, etc.). Europe has advantages in the field of mobile communications and the United States leads in such fields as business-use routers and information systems (Fig. 2-10).

OChina’s exports are high for all products, establishing itself as the world’s production basis. However, countries in the Asia-Pacific region such as South Korea and Taiwan hold large shares for semiconductor devices. Japan’s share is less than 10% apart from a few products. In particular, its share does not reach 5% for many terminal equipment products (Fig. 2-11).

(3) Challenges for Strengthening the Competitiveness of the ICT Industry (Degree of Overseas Presence and Profitability (i))

O Japanese companies tend not to go out into markets abroad unless they hold large domestic market shares. This is because the domestic market is highly competitive, which keeps the business size per company small, and they cannot enjoy economies of scale to start business abroad (Fig. 2-12).

OOn the other hand, North American companies tend to increase their shares abroad even if they do not hold large market shares in their own country. It is suggested that they have in view global business operations from the start (Fig. 2-13).

## 2 Growth of ICT industry and Strengthening of its International Competitiveness (3) Challenges for Strengthening the Competitiveness of the ICT Industry (Degree of Overseas Presence and Profitability (ii))

OICT vendors in Japan are among the world’s leaders in terms of sales, but large sales do not result in high business profits (Fig. 2-14).

OICT vendors in the United States are achieving sales and business profit in both domestic and overseas markets in a well-balanced manner, obtaining a high operating income ratio. On the other hand, domestic business takes up about 80% of business profit for ICT vendors in Japan, and their operating income ratio of overseas business is generally low (Fig. 2-15).

OWhile many vendors leading the ICT industry in the United States have been multiplying continuously since the 1960s, Japan hardly saw any ICT vendors with international competitiveness established during the same period (Fig. 2-16).

OIn order for companies to be established and to grow one after another, it is important to establish an environment conducive to the required financial resources, human resources and R&D (Fig. 2-17).

## 3 New Lifestyles brought about by Ubiquitous Network (1) Current State of ICT Usage in People’s Lives

The number of Internet users in Japan is estimated to be 88.11 million (increased by 0.7% over the previous year), and its penetration rate 69.0% (increased by 0.5 points over the previous year) as of the end of 2007 (Fig. 3-1).

The share of broadband usage is 40.6% of the entire population above age 6 as of the end of 2007, which accounts for 79.6% of Internet users from households. By age, growth among the young generation is significant compared to the results as of the end of 2004 (Fig. 3-2).

The ratio of mobile phone Internet usage accounts for 55.4% of the entire population above age 6 as of the end of 2007. Compared to the results as of the end of 2004, growth is significant among those who are age 50 and older (Fig. 3-3).

OAs for website usage, while the generation gap is small for shopping, the young generation watches and listens to videos and music three times more than senior citizens do. Therefore, while the usage in terms of shopping is already being established in each generation, usage for videos and music is expected to expand in the future in accordance with the ageing of the young generation (Fig. 3-4).

## 3 New Lifestyle brought about by Ubiquitous Network (2) Changes in Consumer Behavior

The diffusion of the Internet is generating a new process of consumer behavior, namely “recognition” → “interest” → “information gathering” → “evaluation of options” → “purchasing” → “sharing.”

The role of television, which used to have an important place in the recognition of products, has diminished at the stages of information gathering and evaluation of options. Instead, the role of the Internet is increasing (Fig. 3-5 to Fig. 3-7).

Compared to five years ago, the ratio of those who purchase products via the Internet is increasing rapidly. This trend is especially notable for products with consistent quality and of which the entire process from information gathering to the decision of purchase can be done via the Internet, such as travel/tickets or music/videos. For example, the share of those who make travel/ticket purchases via the Internet already exceeds the share of those who make in-store purchases, and those who purchase music/videos through the Internet accounts for 30% of the total. Online shopping is coming to threaten the position of in-store purchases (Fig. 3-8).

## 3 New Lifestyle brought about by Ubiquitous Network (2) Changes in Consumer Behavior

OIt is becoming more and more popular to share purchasing experiences via the Internet, especially among the younger generation. The flow of information related to consumption is changing from a unidirectional one transmitted from companies to consumers to a bidirectional one (Fig. 3-9).

Among companies with more than 100 employees, 83.6% have a company website and 6.8% launched business blogs and SNS. Major objectives for doing so are the introduction of products and the regular provision of information. It shows the spreading trend of seeking new contact points with consumers via the Internet (Fig. 3-10, Fig. 3-11).

OAs for negative experiences accompanying the use of the Internet, “received unsolicited e-mails” was the top answer for both PC and mobile phone users in households, while “computer virus” was the most frequent answer among companies (Fig. 3-12, Fig. 3-13).

O Recognition and usage of filtering software and services have both increased over the previous year. In particular, usage of filtering services for mobile phone users increased significantly by 14.2 points over the previous year to 21.6% (Fig. 3-14, Fig. 3-15).
