It is interesting to note that Japan is the 3rd largest economy of the world (PPP base) with an import of USD 708 billion in 2008. China is the largest exporter to Japan with a share of 18.9% (USD 134 billion) while India’s export to Japan is only USD 3 billion which accounts for 0.4% of Japan’s total import. Japan has been added under “Market Linked Focus Product Scheme” of the Ministry of Commerce, which entitles specific products benefits @ 2% of FOB value. There is an excellent scope of increasing India’s export to Japan. Some of the facts about Japan are as follows:
  1. Japan has a workforce of 67 million, which i 50% of its total population.
  2. Japanese household has monthly average disposable income of USD 4403.
  3. 80% of the population of Japan is in the middle class. They have the power to purchase gift and lifestyle items even under the economic depression.
  4. After the depression started, Japanese Yen is becoming drastically strong. It means that Japan has a strong power to buy imported products.
