## 1 ICT and Economic Growth (1)The Advent of the Era of Information and Knowledge and Economic Growth -2

When we calculate the contribution of ubiquitous network development to economic growth by the Ubiquitous Index and the macroeconomic production function, the result shows a positive contribution (Fig. 1-3). In the Era of Information and Knowledge, economic growth will be promoted by the progress of ubiquitous network use.

It is estimated that the GDP growth rate will increase by about one point from 2007 to 2010 when the movement of the Japanese economy will be strong and the potential of the ubiquitous network will be fully realized compared to the opposite case (Fig. 1-4).

Fig.1-3 Calculation of ubiquitous effect by macroeconomic production function

Fig.1-4 Estimation of contribution of ubiquitous effect to real GDP growth

Case 1 is when the movement of the Japanese economy will be strong and the potential of the ubiquitous network will be fully realized.

Case 2 is when the movement of the Japanese economy will not be strong and the potential of the ubiquitous network will not be fully realized.
## 1 ICT and Economic Growth (2)Trends in the ICT Industry -1

▶ICT industry accounts for about 10% of nominal domestic output and is the largest of all industries (Fig.1-5).

▶Contribution ratio of the ICT industry to real GDP growth was 42.4% in 2005. Thus, the ICT industry dramatically impacts economic growth (Fig. 1-6).

Fig. 1-6 Contribution of ICT industry to real GDP growth rate
## 1 ICT and Economic Growth (2)Trends in ICT Industry -2

Real GDP of the ICT industry has increased steadily since 1995 (Fig. 1-7).

➤Number of employees of the ICT industry has decreased since 2001. Especially, ICT-related manufacturing shows a rapid decrease (Fig. 1-8).

## 1 ICT and Economic Growth (3)ICT Investment and Economic Growth

▶ ICT investment and GDP of the US has been higher compared with those of Japan (Fig. 1-9).
▶ Labor productivity of the US has consistently increased since 1990. In particular, the contribution of the TFP growth rate has been large. That of Japan has been unchanged since 1990. In the case of Japan, the contribution of capital stock has been large, while that of TFP growth has been small (Fig. 1-10).
▶ Contribution of TFP growth to labor productivity in Japan is 2.21% in the manufacturing industries and 0.14% in the service industries. This is one of the main reasons for the low labor productivity of Japan’s service industry (Fig. 1-11). (ref.) Innovation effect of ICT use in businesses comes out as TFP growth.

## 1 ICT and Economic Growth (4) ICT Investment and TFP Growth

➤ Contribution of TFP growth to domestic output growth these past 10 years in the wholesale and transportation service sector has decreased, while that in the ICT industry and electric machinery sector has rapidly increased (Fig. 1-12). ➤ In the manufacturing industries, the higher the ICT investment growth rate, the higher is the TFP growth rate. In the service industries, the ICT investment growth rate does not necessarily lead to a high TFP growth rate, which implies that service industries do not utilize ICT efficiently (Fig. 1-13).

Fig.1-13 Interrelation between ICT investment growth and TFP growth
## 1 ICT and Economic Growth (5)Economic Ripple Effect of ICT Industry

Economic ripple effects (value-added and employment induced by ICT industry) contributes positively to economic growth by animating economic activity in all industries (Fig. 1-14).

The amount of value-added induced by the ICT industry has increased (except in 2002), which implies that the weight of the ICT industry in the overall economy has increased (Fig. 1-15).

Decrease of employment induced by ICT-related manufacturing sector between 1995 and 2005 prevents the increase of employment induced by the overall ICT industry (Fig. 1-16).

## 1 ICT and Economic Growth (6)ICT-related Demand and Trends of Japanese Economy (Domestic Demand)

➤ Real GDP growth of Japan has been positive since 2002. Contribution of domestic demand to economic growth has increased from 2004 to 2005 (Fig. 1-17).
➤ ICT-related consumption has positively contributed to total consumption. In particular, that of mobile phone fees, internet connection fees, and ICT-related equipment has been large (Fig. 1-18).
➤ ICT-related machinery investment has positively contributed to total corporate investment since 2003. In particular, that of semiconductor equipment has been large (Fig. 1-19).

## 1 ICT and Economic Growth (7) Smoothing Inventory Cycle

In recent years, the circular orbit of the inventory cycle has become smaller, which implies that the inventory cycle has been smoothed (Fig. 1-23, 1-24).

Reasons for this trend can be pointed out as an accurate grasp of consumer needs by solving the information mismatch between suppliers and consumers through CGM (Consumer Generated Media) such as blogs and SNS (Social Networking Service) and an efficient inventory management by ICT use such as SCM (Supply Chain Management).

## (8) Analysis of Regional Features in ICT Industry

Real domestic output of the Kanto region accounts for the largest proportion of the overall real domestic output in both the manufacturing sector and service sector of the ICT industry. In recent years, the service sector tends to be clustering in the Kanto region, while service sector tends to be clustering in other regions (Fig. 1-25, 1-26). Production of ICT manufacturing sectors in other regions induced by the ICT service sector in the Kanto region, and production of the ICT service sector in the Kanto region induced by ICT manufacturing sectors in other regions have increased. The growth of Japan’s ICT industry contributes to the development of regional economies as a whole through ripple effects among regions (Fig. 1-27, 1-28).

2-1 International Competitiveness of ICT Industry (3) Globalization of ICT Network (Offshoring-1)
➢On the development of a global network around Japan and the growth of the software service industry in China and India, offshoring has rapidly developed.➢Large capacity submarine cable beyond 10 Gbps has been laid from Japan to China, Southeast Asian countries, partly in West India and across the Pacific Ocean. Large capacity and low charge international lines have increased the use of international IP-VPN between Japan and China (Fig. 2-8, 2-9).➢In India and China which are major offshoring destination countries, the software service industry has rapidly grown (Fig. 2-10, 2-11).

## 2 -1 International Competitiveness of ICT Industry (3) Globalization of ICT Network (Offshoring-2)

Japan’s software offshoring market size was 63.6 billion yen in 2005 and will reach around 200 billion yen in 2010 (Fig. 2-12).

There is a shortage of domestic software engineers. One of the major purposes of offshoring is to offset the shortage (Fig. 2-13).

Therefore, as long as the increase of software development remains larger than that of offshoring, it is expected that an employment decrease of domestic software engineers will not happen due to an increase of offshoring (Fig. 2-14).

## 2-1 International Competitiveness of ICT Industry (4) International Competitiveness of ICT Industry in Japan -2

Japan’s global market share and exports share declined in almost all ICT-related products between 1997 and 2005. This implies the decline of Japan’s corporate competitiveness and locational competitiveness as a production base. US locational competitiveness declined, while its corporate competitiveness is maintained. China rapidly increased its locational competitiveness with the establishment of many production bases of foreign vendors by the development of the international division of labor. Korea increased its corporate competitiveness in some products.

## 2-1 International Competitiveness of ICT Industry (5) Business Development of Japanese ICT Vendors

▶ Regardless of the decrease of the weight of the Japanese market in the global market, the ICT vendors of Japan tend to be domestic market-oriented compared to those of the US and Europe (Fig. 2-22, 2-23).

▶ ICT vendors of Japan tend to develop their business in a wider product range than those of the US and Europe. This makes it possible to spread business risk and build up a wide variety of technologies, whereas, small but many business units increase the adjustment costs among them (Fig. 2-24).

## 2-1 International Competitiveness of ICT Industry (6) Japanese ICT Vendors' Technology Competitiveness, R&D, and Human Resources

➤Japanese ICT vendors are competitive in product areas where material technologies, optical/electronic device technologies, equipment technologies, and technologies for metal dies are important. Also, the more the products have important element technologies, the more technologically competitive Japanese ICT vendors are (Fig.2-25, 2-26).

➤The number of graduates from ICT-related departments in Japan has been smaller than that in the US, China and India. It is essential for Japan to strengthen professional education system after university education to keep and improve technological competitiveness in the ICT sector for the future (Fig.2-27).

## 2 -1 International Competitiveness of ICT Industry (7) Network Equipments (Router/Switch)

Cisco Systems accounts for around 70% of the global market share in both routers and switches. ICT vendors of the US and Europe have next-best positions, while the share of Japanese ICT vendors in the global markets is extremely small (Fig.2-28, 2-29).

Cisco’s large share is due to an advantage in terms of technology by M&A and active commitment in standardization, and making use of “network externalities” and “switching cost” (Fig.2-30).

As the demand for high-end products is expected to increase, Japan, as the most advanced country in terms of broadband infrastructure, will become a test bed for products with the highest technology, which will create important opportunities for Japanese ICT vendors (Fig.2-31, 2-32).

## 2 -1 International Competitiveness of ICT Industry (8) Mobile Handset

➤Finland accounts for the largest share in the global market for mobile handsets. Korea’s share has increased, while Japan’s share in the same market has decreased (Fig.2-33).

The center of mobile communications market growth in the world is shifting from advanced countries to developing countries. The global market is expanding more rapidly than the Japanese market (Fig.2-34).

➤GSM originally developed in Europe is now the de facto global standard in the second generation mobile system. In the GSM mobile handset market, Japanese ICT vendors can hardly maintain share. However, Japanese vendors precede other countries in the third generation mobile handset market. It is important for them to turn its dominance to the future strategy (Fig.2-35~2-37).
