The Japanese Government calculated the influence that stagnation of the semiconductor industry caused by the earthquake disaster of Japan gave to the world.
The investigation was carried out mainly on the hearing to the company by Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry.
When semiconductor-related part production stopped from the middle of March to the end of April, the Japanese Government announced that influence went for production and service of a total of approximately 500 billion US dollars in the world.
Example:
When the shutdown of the factory of Renesas Electronics lasts one and a half months, an approximately 81.2 billion dollars share of the world car production may be lost
The production of liquid crystal televisions may stop on a 5 billion dollars scale, too.
When a factory of world's largest Shin-Etsu Chemical of the silicon wafer stops for one and a half months, world semiconductor production decreases by approximately 18.75 billion dollears. As a result, other than electric equipment industry, communication, the Internet, the sales of the service industry including the broadcast decrease and may be connected for the decrease in production, service of approximately 400 billion dollears.
The Japanese Government predict that may not produce liquid crystal panel for smartphones with electricity shortage enough. It may be substituted by the then overseas product.
Japan holds approximately 70% of the world share.
