The 2018 Japan Analytical Instrument Market (Tactical Sales and Marketing Report)

The size of Japan’s economy is only surpassed by those of the United States and China. This is reflected in the country’s overall market demand for analytical instrumentation, predicted to grow to $6.5 billion in 2022, as foreign suppliers continue to compete for market share with numerous Japanese suppliers.

Overview

Japan has maintained its place as one of the world’s largest economies, surpassed only by the United States and China. Japan’s economy is highly developed with advanced manufacturing geared towards electronics, semiconductors, and automobiles, but the economy has seen some difficulty growing in recent years. To combat this, domestic government reforms have aimed to improve the economic situation. While expectations of market growth for analytical instrumentation in the country are still modest, we do see signs that Japan’s economy is slowly improving, and it nonetheless remains one of the world’s major innovators in science and technology. Therefore, this report aims to take a closer look at the current and expected behavior of Japan’s analytical instrument market and provide some perspectives about its future direction.
