Though in 2011 the tsunami affected Japan’s exporting activity, the main products that Japan exports to the United States are still manufactured goods, specifically automobiles and electronics, two areas that the country excels in. In fact, Japan’s exports to the United States are almost entirely manufactured goods.
In terms of automobiles, which are by far Japan’s most lucrative export to the United States, manufacturers such as Honda, Toyota and Nissan export the majority of the country’s cars and trucks to the United States. In general Japanese vehicles tend to play into the mid-range and low price ranges of American consumers, allowing Europe and the United States to take care of the expensive vehicles.
Proof of how important the automobile industry is to Japan is in the fact that the Japanese automobile exporting industry accounts for tens of billions of dollars annually in the Japanese economy. And that’s just for the cars that Japan exports to the United States, let alone the rest of the world.
Companies such as Sony, Mitsubishi, and Nintendo provide a large portion of the electronics that come into the United States from Japan. These electronics companies tend to be leaders in their industry, and provide products in all price ranges for all kinds of users.
The electronics companies listed above, as well as a whole host of others, produce equipment mostly in the realm of entertainment, office machinery (including computers) and telecommunications equipment, industries that grow every year. Though not as lucrative for Japan as automobiles and electronics, power-generating equipment is also one of their major exports to the United States.
