Why Consider Japan as a Market for Your Company?
With a population only one-half that of the United States, Japan maintains the world' s second largest economy. And while the Japanese market can be demanding, it has proven to be very profitable for foreign firms, both large and small. Deregulation and other systemic changes are expanding opportunities in Japan, and recovery from the recent economic recession means even greater buying power.
The Japanese market holds opportunity for many different types of industries, especially:
- Information/Communication Technology (IT/ICT)
- Healthcare (includes Medical Devices, Elderly cares etc.) and Biotechnology
- ROBOT, High Tech and Environmental Technology (includes Nano, New Energy and so on)
- Food and Service
What is JETRO?
The Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO) is a non-profit Japanese government organization dedicated to developing mutually beneficial trade relations between Japan and trade partners around the world. Founded in 1958, JETRO maintains 72 overseas offices in 56 countries.
