Vehicles Export of Japan: The Trade Analysis of 2024

Japan, an island nation in Asia, located alongside the northwestern coast of the Pacific Ocean, with its borders surrounded by China, Russia, and Taiwan in the west, north, and southeast, has emerged as the leading exporter of vehicles in the international trade market. Japan Import Data says, the weakening of the Japanese yen to around 160 US dollars in mid-2024 and the strong global demand of vehicles driven specifically by the United States, European Union, and China with a share of 18%, 15%, and 4.5% has made Japan introduce more of its domestic productions in the international trade for a thriving export revenue rate.

The accelerated shipments in the United States ahead of a 25% tariff on imported vehicles and the hike in export of Japanese-used cars by 2% in mid-2024 have resulted in an export trade value of vehicles worth 167 billion US dollars in 2024. The increasing export of Japanese vehicle brands manufactured in India back to Japan, like the Maruti Suzuki Front and Honda WR-V, has reversed the export rate, adding to the export volume.

POLICY REFORMS SUPPORTING THE EXPORT OF VEHICLES FROM JAPAN IN 2024

The U.S.-Japan trade agreement, reducing auto tariffs, has eased the trade barriers for Japanese vehicle exports by concluding a bilateral trade deal with the United States for lowering the auto import tariffs from 25% to 15%. The robust trade negotiation and industry support framework initiated by the Ministry with Washington to reduce the auto tariffs has established over 1,000 consultation desks nationwide.

The METI-led Green Growth Strategy and EV ecosystem support have promoted EV technology, charging infrastructure, and domestic production of low-carbon vehicles for enhancing the export competitiveness in the sustainable automotive sector. The financial backing for EV battery manufacturing has strengthened the domestic supply chain while positioning the exported electric vehicles as globally competitive ones.
