## Section 1 ICT Industry Trends

### 1. Economic size of the ICT industry (1) Market size (domestic production)

ICT industry market size accounted for about 9.0% of all industries

The ICT industry’s market size in 2011 was 82.7 trillion yen (based on nominal domestic production value), accounting for 9.0% of all industries and making it the largest industry in the country (Figure 4-1-1-1). The market size leveled off between 2000 and 2005 before declining along with markets for other industries from 2008. Particularly, the market suffered a sharp plunge in 2009 due to the Lehman Shock. In 2011, it continued shrinking $ ^{1} $ (Figure 4-1-1-2).

## (2) Employment

ICT industry employment totaled 3.897 million in 2011 accounting for 6.9% of total employment in Japan

The ICT industry’s employment in 2011 totaled 3.897 million (up 1.8% from the previous year), accounting for 6.9% of total employment in Japan. Employment declined by 8.0% from 2010 for the ICT-related manufacturing sector, by 5.3% for the ICT-related construction sector and by 3.5% for the video, audio and text information production sector. But employment for the Internet-related services sector scored a sharp expansion of 51.3% (Figure 4-1-1-3).

### 2. ICT industry's economic spillover effects

ICT industry production operations' economic spillover effects on Japan's entire industry made the largest contributions to inducing added value and jobs among industries.

The ICT industry’s economic spillover effects on Japan’s entire industry in terms of added value and employment induction are compared with those of other industries. Economic spillover effects of each industry’s production operations $ ^{2} $ indicate that the ICT industry induced 87.6 trillion yen in added value and 7.713 million jobs in 2011. The ICT industry thus has the largest economic spillover effects among industries in Japan (Figure 4-1-2-1).
