5 Automotive Industry Investment in Materials and Equipment Automobile Manufacturing is an Integrated Industry An automobile typically is composed of 2, to 3, parts, all of which even the largest manufacturers cannot produce themselves. Automakers therefore either outsource production or purchase finished products (such as tires and batteries), including products manufactured abroad. The volume of imported components increases yearly. Automobile manufacturing is thus an integrated industry because it relies on many supporting industries to produce the great diversity of materials and components it uses. Trends in the automobile industry, which makes huge investments in equipment and researchanddevelopment activities, are considered a barometer of the economy. PRINCIPAL MATERIALS AND COMPONENTS USED IN AUTOMOBILE MANUFACTURING Cast iron Common steel Special steel Copper Lead, tin, zinc Aluminum Noble metals nonferrous metals Synthetic resin Glass Rubber Ceramics Textiles Leather Paper Wood Paints Chemicals Animal and vegetable oils Fats and oils Engine parts, e.g. cylinder blocks Chassis, frames, wheel parts Gears, axle shafts, crankshafts, fuel injection equipment Electricals, radiators, cables Engine metals, solder, body varnish, batteries Engine parts (e.g. pistons, cylinder heads), wheels, chassis Emissions aftertreatment parts Magnets, plating Steering wheels, bumpers, radiator grilles, body components Window glass, mirrors, headlamps Tires, sealing parts, vibration control parts Plugs, electronic parts, sensors, emissions aftertreatment parts Seats, linings, seatbelts Seats, packing Filters Loadcarrying platforms, interior equipment Ornamental and rustproof paints Antifreeze, engine oil, transmission oil, brake oil For casting For lubrication, heat treatment, etc. Springs, dampers Turbochargers Bearings Machined parts, e.g. pumps Tires and tubes Batteries Window glass Onboard tools, e.g. jacks Supplies, e.g. extinguishers, tire chains Electronic parts Sensors, ECUs, actuators Lights, cables, optical fibers Air conditioners, air cleaners Starters, alternators, generators, meters Radios, cassette decks, CD/DVD players, phones, navigation systems Safety equipment, e.g. antilock brakes, airbags, traction control Coke Petroleum, electricity, natural gas For casting Fuel, heat treatment, paint drying, power generation INVESTMENTS IN EQUIPMENT OF MAJOR MANUFACTURING SECTORS (PROJECTED, FY 29) NonFerrous Metals 2,34 (4.1%) 6,187 (12.3%) Pulp & Paper 1,28 (2.1%) General Machinery 6,79 (13.4%) Chemicals 5,575 (11.1%) Automotive 1,948 (21.8%) All Manufacturing Sectors 5,13 (1%) Iron & Steel 7,835 (15.6%) x 1 million yen Electronic Equipment 4,111 (8.2%) INVESTMENTS IN R&D OF MAJOR MANUFACTURING SECTORS (FY 28) Iron & Steel 1,634 (1.4%) Foods 2,67 (2.1%) Electrical Machinery & Equipment 1,314 (8.7%) General Machinery & Equipment 18,27 (15.3%) 11,79 (9.9%) All Manufacturing Sectors 118,831 (1%) Chemicals 8,26 (7.%) IT & Telecommunications Equipment 21,441 (18.%) x 1 million yen Electronic Circuits, Parts & Equipment 8,32 (6.8%) Automotive 22,97 (19.3%) Petroleum 3,48 (6.8%) Electrical Machinery & Equipment 2,295 (4.6%) Pharmaceuticals 12,956 (1.9%) Transport Equipment 23,68 (19.9%) Source: Survey on Equipment Investment, Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry Source: Survey on Research Activities in Science and Technology, Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications 3

6 Automotive Industry Automotive Shipments in Value Terms Automobile Manufacturing is a Core Industry The automotive industry is one of the Japanese economy s core industrial sectors. In 28 automotive shipments accounted for 16.9% of the total value of Japan s manufacturing shipments, and 36.3% of the value of the machinery industries combined shipments. Automotive shipments (both domestic and export shipments, including motorcycles, auto parts, etc.) in value terms totalled 56.6 trillion yen in 28.
