The industry started to expand slowly in 2017, marking a turnaround in production compared with the previous year’s decline. Japanese manufacturers invested more into robotics and other hi-tech machinery, and tapped into expanding foreign markets, which led to a 7% hike in the country’s exports. Likewise, the analysed industry’s exports also rapidly recovered and achieved rather steep growth.
