Greetings
Although Japan's semiconductor industry has fallen from its former top share, it still boasts world-class strengths in manufacturing equipment and materials, with a strong presence in power semiconductors and image sensors. It is in a transitional period aiming for renewed growth through investment in cutting-edge fields and international collaboration.
As the semiconductor industry expands globally, India is attracting attention as the "factory of the world" in conjunction with the movement to decouple from China. Under the "Make in India" policy, the country is promoting rapid technological development with the aim of domestic semiconductor production.
