Japanese Automotive Tier1s Propel Forward with Enhanced Co-operation and Emerging Technologies - ResearchAndMarkets.com

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Japanese Automotive Tier1s' Advanced Technologies and Products Research Report, 2024-2025" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The automotive industry is witnessing a significant paradigm shift globally, with a particular focus on vehicle electrification and intelligence. Japanese automotive Tier1 suppliers are accelerating their efforts to match the rapid advancements in intelligent application technology, spearheaded by Chinese OEMs and solution suppliers, as well as their European and American counterparts.

These suppliers are intensifying their external and internal collaborations to reinforce their technical superiority in specific segments of electrification and to embrace advancements in intelligence technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI), software-defined vehicles (SDV), and semiconductor chips.

Upsurge in External Collaborations and Technology Partnerships

Japanese Tier1 companies are not holding back in forging alliances and collaborations to scale up technological proficiencies in AI development and chip manufacturing. Recent collaborations involve Denso partnering with Quadric to develop a neural processing unit and Alps Alpine expanding their technology collaboration with Qualcomm Technologies.

Moreover, TIER IV's technological undertakings in autonomous driving with the Matsuo Institute stand as an illustration of Japan's bet on generative AI for expanding operational design domains for Level 4 autonomous driving. These alliances showcase the commitment of Japanese firms to incorporate these advanced technologies into automotive products and achieve mass adoption of autonomous driving.

Government-Backed Initiatives and Investments

The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) of Japan have highlighted their strategic plan for digital transformation in the automotive sector. They envision the development of software-defined vehicles (SDVs), robotaxis, and a significant market share in the global SDV market by 2030. Furthermore, a total of 2 trillion yen in government subsidies is intended to stimulate investment in Japan's domestic chip industry.

Excellence in Electrification and Competitive Manufacturing

In the area of electrification, Japanese firms have retained technological leadership in specific domains. This includes advancements in motors, power semiconductors (IGBT/SiC/GaN), and a host of intelligent cockpit technologies. Besides internal technical ascendancy, integration with elite global partners demonstrates their continual pursuit of innovation and fine manufacturing processes—epitomized by successful implementations from DMG MORI and Nachi-Fujikoshi in the machine tool sector.

Championing Global Development with Concerted Efforts

Concurrent with their foreign alliances, Japanese Tier1 firms are collaboratively fostering the technological prowess of Japanese OEMs. Regulatory measures in key industrial sectors are being enforced to safeguard against technology leakage and to ensure that advanced manufacturing capabilities remain in Japan. The impetus provided to the automobile sector is exemplified by an increase in machine tool orders, indicating favorable growth and a persistent presence in the global arena.

This trend of strategic external cooperation, dedication to internal development, and profoundly nuanced manufacturing could enhance Japanese Tier1 firms' competitiveness and secure their standing in the global automotive market, today and beyond.
