1 s Manufacturing Industry July 21 Ministry of Economy Trade and Industry

2 The Condition of s Manufacturing Industries1 A look at the situation of the global market shows that emerging countries have increased their share of the global GDP as a result of population growth and rising income. Emerging countries have also increased their presence as both production bases and markets. Although manufacturing industry has led the ese economy and has been responsible for 9% of s exports, has not fully taken advantage of business opportunities in growth markets around the world. (%) [Changes in Nominal GDP Share of World s Major Regions] Developing countries EU United States Emerging countries 28% Other regions 38% Major Asian nations, excluding China China Russia Brazil (forecast) 46% Remarks: On a U.S.$ basis. Major Asian nations/regions excluding China refer to ASEAN, India, South Korea and Taiwan. Source: IMF, World Economic Outlook Database, April 21 [Growth of Asian Emerging Countries and Increase in Value of Exports by Major Countries] (199 = 1) ese exports have not fully benefited from an expansion of Asian emerging markets.

3 The Condition of s Manufacturing Industries 2 In China and other Asian countries, production is increasing as they have adapted to the combination of various production technologies. With regard to intermediate goods, for which is said to be maintaining a strong competitive edge, South Korea and China have gradually been raising their competitiveness, and their industrial infrastructures are becoming more advanced due to progress in the international division of labor. In addition, ese companies are encountering challenges such as severe competition with other ese companies, and technology leakage. [Changes in the Competitiveness of Manufacturing Industries of Countries and Regions (changes in the share of total value added by manufacturing industries of countries and regions)] (%) While the shares of and the United States declined, those of emerging Asian countries grew (Year) U.S Asia (9.5 countries) China /Hong Kong EU Source: U.S. National Science Foundation statistics [Changes in the Export Specialization Index of Intermediate Goods] U.S. EU South Korea China ASEAN Remarks: Export specialization index=(exports of intermediate goods imports/(exports of intermediate goods + imports) Source: Research Institute of Economy, Trade and Industry, RIETI-TID 29 [ Biggest competitors in emerging markets ] China, 26% South Korea / Taiwan, 18% United EU, States, 15% 6% Other emerging nations 6% (n=896) Source: Survey by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (January 21) [Pathway of Technology Leakage] Leakage through people Leakage through products Leakage through technological data (leakage of blueprints, production data, etc.) 1% 31% 5% % 49% 12% 1% 31% 2% 12% % 24% 3% 12% 18% 15% Domestic bases (n=112) Overseas bases (n=17) ese employees (regular employees) ese employees (non-regular employees) Retired ese employees Local employees (regular workers) Local employees (non-regular employees) Retired local employees Employees of joint ventures or partner companies Employees of customer companies 16% 19% Domestic bases (n=287) Overseas bases (n=351), 29% 39% 3% 49% 57% 2

4 The Condition of s Manufacturing Industries 3 Regarding our country as a manufacturing base, due to the development of emerging countries, maturation of the domestic market and the relative rise of domestic production costs, ese companies have been accelerating overseas operations, increasing overseas production percentages and manufacturing jobs have been decreasing. As this trend continues, it may harm s economic growth, breaking employment and technological clusters.

10 Next-Generation Vehicle Plan 21 (Diffusion Projections for 22 and 23; Government Targets) Diffusion projections by type of vehicle (with private-sector efforts) Diffusion projections assuming private-sector efforts (scenario where auto makers make the utmost efforts to improve fuel efficiency and develop next-generation vehicles) were made. Next-generation vehicles will account for less than 2% of new vehicle sales in 22 and 3-4% in Conventional vehicles 8% or more 6-7% Next-generation vehicles Less than 2% 3-4% Hybrid vehicles 1-15% 2-3% Electric vehicles Plug-in hybrid vehicles 5-1% 1-2% Fuel-cell vehicles Miniscule 1% Clean diesel vehicles Miniscule - 5% Diffusion targets by type of vehicle (government targets) The government has set diffusion targets to pursue for each type of vehicle for accelerating the spread of nextgeneration vehicles. Next-generation vehicles should account for up to 5% of new vehicle sales in 22. To achieve this target, the government should provide effective incentives Conventional vehicles 5-8% 3-5% Next-generation vehicles 2-5% 5-7% Hybrid vehicles 2-3% 3-4% Electric vehicles Plug-in hybrid vehicles 15-2% 2-3% Fuel-cell vehicles - 1% - 3% Clean diesel vehicles - 5% 5-1% Necessity of advanced eco-friendly vehicles Expected model changes Secure international competitiveness Risk for auto makers Higher costs arising from the use of advanced technologies Effects of eco-friendlyvehicles subsidies and tax breaks Only 1-2 changes expected by 22 Continued dominance of conventional vehicles in international, especially emerging, markets. High risk involved in focusing on specific technologies, due to variations in diffusion projections Even if green vehicles are available, whether to buy them depends on users. Apr. 29: Eco-vehicles account for 42.5% (next-generation vehicles 5.7%) Feb. 21: Eco-vehicles account for 73.1% (next-generation vehicles 9.3%) The government seeks to make advanced eco-friendly vehicles account for 8% of new vehicle sales in 22, provided that effective policy support is offered. Next-generation vehicles HV, EV, PHV, FCV, CDV, CNG, etc. Advanced eco-vehicles ( post-eco-vehicles ) + Future conventional vehicles whose ecofriendly features are excellent in light of the technical standards of the time
