Transistor Exports From Japan Reach An Average of $2.7 Billion in 2023

Japan Transistor Exports

In 2023, overseas shipments of transistors, other than photosensitive transistors decreased by -29.4% to 48B units, falling for the second year in a row after two years of growth. Over the period under review, exports saw a relatively flat trend pattern. The pace of growth appeared the most rapid in 2017 when exports increased by 21%. Over the period under review, the exports attained the maximum at 73B units in 2021; however, from 2022 to 2023, the exports failed to regain momentum.

In value terms, transistor exports declined slightly to $2.7B (IndexBox estimates) in 2023. Overall, total exports indicated a remarkable increase from 2013 to 2023: its value increased at an average annual rate of +5.5% over the last decade. The trend pattern, however, indicated some noticeable fluctuations being recorded throughout the analyzed period. Based on 2023 figures, exports increased by +90.2% against 2015 indices. The most prominent rate of growth was recorded in 2018 with an increase of 17% against the previous year. The exports peaked at $2.7B in 2022, and then declined in the following year.Japan Transistor Exports By Country (Million USD)

In value terms, China ($686M), Hong Kong ($442M) and Germany ($316M) were the largest markets for transistor exported from Japan worldwide, with a combined 53% share of total exports.

Germany, with a CAGR of +18.9%, recorded the highest growth rate of the value of exports, in terms of the main countries of destination over the period under review, while shipments for the other leaders experienced more modest paces of growth.

Exports by Type

Electrical apparatus; transistors, (other than photosensitive), with a dissipation rate of less than 1W (41B units) was the largest type of transistors, other than photosensitive transistors exported from Japan, accounting for a 84% share of total exports. Moreover, electrical apparatus; transistors, (other than photosensitive), with a dissipation rate of less than 1W exceeded the volume of the second product type, electrical apparatus; transistors, (other than photosensitive), with a dissipation rate of 1W or more (7.6B units), fivefold.

From 2013 to 2023, the average annual growth rate of the volume of electrical apparatus; transistors, (other than photosensitive), with a dissipation rate of less than 1W exports amounted to -1.2%.

In value terms, electrical apparatus; transistors, (other than photosensitive), with a dissipation rate of 1W or more ($2.1B) remains the largest type of transistors, other than photosensitive transistors exported from Japan, comprising 78% of total exports. The second position in the ranking was taken by electrical apparatus; transistors, (other than photosensitive), with a dissipation rate of less than 1W ($592M), with a 22% share of total exports.

From 2013 to 2023, the average annual rate of growth in terms of the value of electrical apparatus; transistors, (other than photosensitive), with a dissipation rate of 1W or more exports totaled +7.3%.

Export Prices by Country

In 2023, the transistor price amounted to $57 per thousand units (FOB, Japan), growing by 42% against the previous year. Over the period under review, the export price posted a resilient expansion. As a result, the export price attained the peak level and is likely to continue growth in the immediate term.

There were significant differences in the average prices for the major overseas markets.
