Key for High Production Costs in Japan

  • Average production costs in Japan's manufacturing sector have risen by 5% due to increased raw material prices and energy costs, impacting profit margins.

  • Japan leads global innovation, housing over 200,000 patent applications, creating fertile ground for revolutionary manufacturing methodologies.
  • There's potential for a 25% enhancement in products' market competitiveness by investing in these cutting-edge innovations to meet customer demands better.

Key for Expansion through Strategic Partnerships
