Happenings / News / Press CoverageThe Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO) today released the results of its latest annual survey on the international operations of Japanese firms. The survey, conducted between November and December 2009, received replies from 935 firms, or 30.1% of 3,110 companies sent questionnaires. Firms were polled on their international and domestic operations, plans to expand business in China, utilization of FTAs and views on business environments in Asia.
According to the survey, the majority of respondents (62.1%) have overseas bases, of which 74.9% have bases in China, 44.8% in the US and 38.0% in Thailand. By location and function, China ranked highest in the sales base and production base categories, at 49.2% and 46.8%, respectively. Notably, the percentage of respondents with a sales base in China rose 2.7 points from the 2008 survey.
The percentage of respondents planning to expand their business overseas (make new/additional investments) in the coming three years or so was 56.0%, a 5.7-point jump over last year’s survey. For overseas expansion plans by country/region and function, China ranked at the top in all categories. After China, locations registering increased interest as a sales base included the Asian NIEs, Indonesia and Vietnam.
When comparing current and future sales targets in developing countries, firms showed increasing interest in expanding sales to local firms, while the new rich & middle class and low-income segment remained important consumer targets.
Asked about their business plans (including trade, outsourcing and direct investment) in/with China in the coming three years or so, the percentage of respondents planning to expand/start new business rose 13.4 points from last year to 60.6%. By category, firms plan mainly to "increase exports" (up 13.9 points to 53.6%) and "establish or expand sales base" (up 8.7 points to 41.3%).
