The semiconductor is the core component used in electronic products and is referred to as “rice” for manufacturing industries in Japan. The Japanese semiconductor industry has developed by supplying a variety of semiconductor products. However, regarding the highly profitable semiconductors that are used as the core components of advanced electronic devices, overseas competitors have dominated the market. Regrettably, Japanese companies have been complacent with the unprofitable peripheral circuit support business.To overcome this difficult situation, it is necessary for Japanese companies to develop their business globally by adopting aggressive strategies. To do so, it is imperative for them to end their dependency on brand manufacturers and establish the ability to operate the semiconductor business. If Japanese companies can acquire domestic and overseas manufacturers that produce applications with growth potential, a path to the future will definitely open up for them.In order to realize this, cross-company strategies must be implemented. All companies in the industry must pull together with an unwavering resolution to win over overseas manufacturers.Without revitalization of the semiconductor industry, it will be impossible for Japan's manufacturing industries to prosper.
