Foreign trade of Japan - statistics & facts
International trade is an opportunity for the Japanese economy to grow as domestic markets are maturing amid a shrinking and aging society. The country was not a trade-dependent nation, but the trade openness ratio has reached record highs as market liberalization measures have taken effect. As domestic markets are reaching saturation, companies are raising outward investments in foreign markets in strategic expansions or merger and acquisition plans.
