Section 1ICT industry trends1. Economic size of the ICT in-

dustryThe ICT industry’s market size in 2010 was 85.4 tril-

lion yen (based on nominal domestic production), ac-counting for 9.2% of all industries and making it the larg-est industry in the country (Figure 4-1-1-1).The market size leveled off between 2000 and 2005 before declining along with markets for other industries from 2008 fol-lowing the Lehman Shock. Particularly, the market suf-fered a sharp plunge in 2009 due to the shock before the decline became moderated and continued in 2010.

2. ICT industry’s economic spill-over eff ects

The ICT industry’s economic spillover effects on each industry’s production operations1 indicate that the ICT industry induced 89.5 trillion yen in added value and 7.642 million jobs in 2000. The ICT industry thus has the largest economic spillover effects among industries in Japan (Figure 4-1-2-1).

tions industry is an ordinary statistical survey (started in 2010) that the MIC and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry jointly conduct under the Statistics Act to specify trends of enterprises belonging to the ICT industry as Large Category G of the Japan Standard In-dustry Classifi cation and obtain basic data for ICT indus-try policies.

(1) Status of SalesThe ICT industry’s sales in FY 2010 totaled 41.3861

trillion yen. The telecommunications sector accounted

for the largest share of the industry’s sales, followed by the software sector and the data processing and provid-ing services sector. The three sectors capture 78.0% of the total ICT industry sales. The share of the total sales was 39.3% (up 1.5 percentage points from the previous year) for the telecommunications sector and 25.0% (up 2.5 points) for the software sector (Figure 4-2-1-1).

Section 3Internet Usage Trends1. Status of Internet diff usion(1) Status of Diff usion of major ICT tools (households)

The household penetration rate at the end of 2011 was 94.5% for cellular phones and personal handyphone sys-tems2 and 77.4% for personal computers. The rate for smartphones3 included into the total number of cellular phones and PHS stood at 29.3% (up 19.6 percentage points from a year earlier), indicating a rapid diffusion (Figure 4-3-1-1).

(2) Status of Internet utilizationThe number of Internet users4 at the end of 2011

reached 96.1 million, an increase of 1.48 million from the end of 2010 (a year-on-year increase of 1.6%). The Inter-net population penetration rate was 79.1% (up 0.9 per-

centage point from the previous year) (Figure 4-3-1-2). Those using personal computers at home to access the Internet accounted for 62.6% of total Internet users, the largest portion followed by 52.1% for cellular phones, 39.3% for other personal computers and 16.2% for smart-phones.

2. Harmful experiences associ-ated with Internet use

When households were asked about harmful experi-ences associated with Internet use through personal computers at home in the past year, the most frequently cited experience was the receipt of spam mails (exclud-ing billing fraud mails), cited by 36.7% of respondents. Following this were 21.6% for the detection of computer viruses without infection and 9.8% for one or more infec-tions with viruses. Regarding harmful experiences as-sociated with Internet use through cellular phones, the receipt of spam mails (excluding billing fraud mails) was cited most frequently, or by 43.5% of respondents, fol-lowed by 13.4% for the receipt of billing fraud mails, indi-cating mail-related harmful experiences are prevalent .

2 Mobile phones and PHSs have included personal digital assistants, or PDAs, since the end of 2009 and smartphones since the end of 2010. The penetration rate for mobile phones and PHSs excluding smartphones came to 89.4 percent.

3 Smartphones are included into mobile phones and PHSs.4 (1) The survey covers those aged 6 or more. (2) The estimated number of Internet users is an estimate based on the survey that checked if

survey targets aged 6 or more used the Internet in a year subject to the survey. Internet connection tools include personal computers, mobile/PHS phones, smartphones, tablet terminals, game consoles and others (irrespective of whether users own these tools). Internet utilization purposes cover all possible ones including personal, business and school purposes. (3) The number of Internet users was calculated by multiply-ing estimated population aged 6 or more (estimated from Population Census and death table data) with the Internet utilization rate obtained through the survey for people aged 6 or more. (4) The Communications Usage Trend Survey excludes those making no response.

Section 4Cloud Service Utilization Trends1. Status of cloud service utili-

zation in JapanEnterprises that said they had used cloud services

even partially accounted for 21.6% of enterprise respon-

dents in our survey, up 7.5 percentage points from 14.1% at the end of 2010 (Figure 4-4-1-1). A breakdown of re-spondents by capital size group indicates larger compa-nies use cloud services more frequently. The cloud ser-vice utilization rate is 44.4% for enterprises capitalized at 5 billion yen or more.

Section 5Telecommunications Sector1. Telecommunications market

Sales in the telecommunications sector in FY 2010 to-taled 13.3682 trillion yen (down 6.0% from the previous year). Fixed communications accounted for 38.7% of the total and mobile communications (cellular phones and PHS) for 48.6% (Figure 4-5-1-1).

2. Status of telecommunica-tions services provision

Subscriptions to fi xed communications (including those to NTT East and West services (including ISDN), non-NTT services and CATV-based telephone services) and the 050-type IP phone services have been declining, whereas subscriptions to mobile communications (cel-lular phones and PHS) and the OABJ-IP phone service have been growing steadily.

After subscriptions to cellular phone services over-took those to fi xed-line phone services in FY 2000, cel-lular phone subscriptions at the end of FY 2011 were about 3.7 times as many as fi xed-line phone subscrip-tions (Figure 4-5-2-1).

Section 6Broadcasting Sector1. Broadcasting market

The entire broadcasting sector’s sales including reve-nues from broadcasting and non-broadcasting opera-tions in FY 2010 increased 2.2% from the previous year to 3.9089 trillion yen, achieving an upturn (Figure 4-6-1-1).

Section 7Radio Utilization1. Status of radio utilization

and the number of radiostations

The number of radio stations (excluding PHS and wireless LAN terminals and other radio stations for which no license is required) at the end of FY 2011 in-creased 11.5% from a year earlier to 134.89 million, in-

cluding 132.66 million land mobile stations (such as cel-lular phones), up 11.7%. The land mobile stations’ share of the total number of radio stations was as high as 98.3%. The number of amateur stations declined to 440,000 (Figure 4-7-1-1).

2. Protection of the electro-magnetic environment

The radio utilization environment has been kept good thanks to the implementation of measures against jam-ming of key communications and the crackdown on ille-gal radio stations. Since FY 2010, we have operated a system to accept reports on jamming of key communica-tions over 24 hours a day in an effort to promptly elimi-

Note: The figures corresponding to the period from FY2004 to the first half of FY2007 are based on the postal service segment information on the financial reports of the Japan Postal Service Corporation. The figures corresponding to the period from the second half of FY2007 to FY2011 are based on the financial reports of the Postal Service Inc. Therefore, simple comparisons cannot be made.Note: The figures corresponding to the period from FY2004 to the first half of FY2007 are representing net incomes. The figures corresponding to the period from the second half of FY2007 to FY2011 are representing the net incomes in the terms (post-corporate-tax income).Note: The figure corresponding to the second half of FY2007 is representing the figure after disposal of disposable assets including burden charges (extraordinary loss). The cause of loss in the first half of FY2007 is the income imbalance between the first and second half. The operating income in the second half is generally larger due to the sales of new year greeting cards and postal package services for season gifts.Note: The cause of loss in FY2009 is the appraisal loss in share holding of a package-service subsidiary (extraordinary loss).Note: The cause of loss in FT2010 is the decrease in income due to the declining number of mails and the temporary decrease in the number of postal packages after the package-delivery-delay incidents.
