Dallas, TX -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/21/2010 -- ReportsandReports announce it will carry Japan Mining Report 2010 Market Research Report in its Store.
After a difficult 2009, when we estimate that Japan’s mining industry shrank by some 17.5% year-on-year (y-o-y) in real terms, we believe that the stage is set for steady recovery over our newly-extended forecast to 2014. That said, with Japan’s domestic mineral reserves having been largely exhausted, its contribution to GDP will remain below 0.1% over our forecast period.
Against this backdrop, it is clear that Japan is a major player in the global mining industry more as a consumer and processor of raw materials as opposed to a producer. Japan remains heavily dependent on imports for raw materials and its mining companies continue to look abroad for new overseas exploration or production projects.
New Data
For 2010, BMI has made significant changes to the way in which we forecast mining data. As well as using local statistics agencies and associations, we now also draw on the expertise of the UN’s Industrial Commodity Statistics Database, the US Geological Survey and the World Bureau of Metal Statistics for our historical export and production data. We then forecast this data using our own proprietary econometric model. Human intervention also plays a necessary and desirable role in our mining forecasting; experience, expertise and knowledge of industry trends and developments ensure that we can spot likely future changes and anomalous data that a purely mechanical model would not.
Country Overview
With the majority of Japan’s domestic mines having been exhausted, the country does not retain any significant mining production capacity, with the exception of the Hishikari gold mine. However, the country does export a great deal of finished products and is a key refiner of metals for the region.
Industry Forecast
After a difficult 2009, BMI believes the stage is set for a steady recovery in Japan’s mining industry over our newly extended forecast period to 2014. Our economists believe that growth in real terms can average just over 5% over the coming five years. However, much of this growth merely reflects a rebound from the sharp falls seen in 2008 and 2009. In addition, mining remains a very small part of the wider Japanese economy. We see mining’s contribution to GDP remaining below the 0.1% mark across our forecast period.
