In this regard, no matter how paradoxical it sounds, Japan has surpassed even the USA, which is considered a country with huge investments in the domestic semiconductor market. That’s why Japan spends proportionally more money to support its semiconductor industry than the United States and other major Western market players.
Japan invested 3.9 trillion yen or $25.7 billion in this sector in three years; This equates to 0.71% of gross domestic product. The United States has invested the equivalent of approximately 7.1 trillion yen in the semiconductor industry over five years, but its share of GDP is 0.21%; this is less than a third of Japan’s figure.
By comparison, France spent the equivalent of 700 billion yen over five years, or 0.2% of GDP. Germany – 2.5 trillion or 0.41%.
