Japan's Electronics Weakness Component Manufacturers Suffered

The continuous natural disasters last year, especially the devastating earthquake and tsunami in March, caused severe damage to the electronics industry in Japan. In the past, the Japanese electronics industry has been an important driving force for the rapid economic development of Japan after the war, and it has created a good reputation for Japanese manufacturing in the world market. Nowadays, Japan's electronics industry is in an awkward position.

In early February of this year, Japan’s Panasonic, Sony, and Sharp’s three home appliance companies disclosed their fiscal year financial performance expectations. The net after-tax loss will be as high as 1.29 trillion yen, and the financial situation has already shown signs of rout. Matsushita has set a record of the highest loss in the history of Japanese manufacturing, with a loss of 780 billion yen.

Faced with such difficulties, Japanese electronics companies have made corresponding rectifications in an attempt to reverse the current difficulties. At the end of last year, Sony, Toshiba and Hitachi had reached a consensus on the cooperation of small and medium-sized liquid crystal displays. Since February of this year, Panasonic, Fujitsu, and Renesas Electronics have also started to negotiate on the integration of semiconductor system LSI, the large-scale integrated circuit business, to expand the scale of the industry and enhance their competitiveness. Sharp, on the other hand, is committed to the development of small and medium-sized LCD screens for smart phones.

Although Japanese electronic companies are actively making corresponding countermeasures to alleviate their current difficulties, the poor performance and huge losses are difficult to ease in the short term, and now the competition in the global electronics market has intensified, and the market has eliminated a little carelessness. It is not known whether the Japanese electronics industry, which faces enormous difficulties, can survive a difficult time.

In addition, many Japanese companies are eagerly involved in the transformation and have also brought many difficulties to the electronics component manufacturers that were previously linked to the industrial chain. The previous electronic component products are bound to cause a certain backlog, but if the corresponding suppliers do not follow the transition, they will hardly be able to Cooperation, therefore corresponding to the electronic components industry is likely to cause some turmoil in the short term.
