Japanese Market News Automatic Doors Automatic doors, which, as the name suggests, detect a person's approach using a sensor and open automatically, are very convenient. You understand just how good when you're carrying a load of packages and can't use your hands to open the door. At airport and train station waiting rooms, automatic doors are indispensable. When nobody is using them, the doors close automatically, thus keeping out invaders and outside air, keeping the air inside clean, also, safe and secure and protecting energy loss and health. However, this is not the case in other countries.
Japan has the world's highest rate of automatic door use.
Proof of this is in the fact that Japanese manufacturers supply approximately half of the worldwide demand of 300-400,000 automatic doors. A few companies in Taiwan and Korea produce automatic doors. Japanese companies manufacture doors at factories in China, selling the products locally as well as re-exporting them to Japan. Although companies in China are eager to manufacture their own automatic doors, full-fledged production has yet to begin in that country. In the meantime, Chinese are coming to Japan seeking help creating automatic door standards on which to base future manufacturing.
