Our Mission We, Research and Statistics Department, provide reliable economic industrial statistics to grasp economic trends quickly and accurately. In order to respond to every aspect of Japan’s economy and to strategically rebuild the systems and mechanisms related to the economy and industry for the future of Japan, it is indispensable to have a proper understanding of economic trends. We conduct economic statistical surveys in a wide range of sectors, including mining, manufacturing, wholesale and retail trade, and selected services, and analyze these survey data to have a proper understanding of economic trends. These economic statistical data and their analyses are widely utilized as the basis for METI’s policies and also as a mirror that reflects the recent rapid changes in economic structure.

Fundamental Statistics




The “Economic Census for Business Activity (hereafter refered to as ”the Economic Census”)” is the census which covers all establishments and enterprises in Japan, and is also called the “Population Census of the Economy.” The Economic Census was conducted mostly by METI and MIC for the first time in 2012. The objectives of the Economic Census are, by investigating the economic activity of establishments and enterprises, to identify the structure of establishments and enterprises in all industries on a national and regional level, and to obtain basic information for conducting various statistical surveys. In order to avoiding duplication between existing surveys and the Economic Census and respondent burdens, the 2011 Census of Manufacturers, 2009 Census of Commerce, and the 2011 Survey of Selected Service Industries were not conducted, and the necessary items of them were surveyed by the Economic Census in 2012.

The census covers all commercial establishments to clarify the actual condition of commercial activities in Japan. This survey is conducted two years after the Economic Census.

The census is annually conducted among manufacturing establishments across the nation in order to clarify the actual status of manufacturing activities. The 2011 Census of Manufacturers was not conducted, and the necessary items were surveyed by the Economic Census in 2012.

The Survey of Selected Service Industries is annually conducted among 28 businesses under the jurisdiction of METI, to clarify the actual condition of the service industries. The survey in 2011 was not conducted and the necessary items were surveyed by the Economic Census in 2012.

What are the features of these data? The result of the Economic Census will be shown the number of business establishments, number of employees, sales amounts, expenses, and value added by all industries on a national and regional level. Furthermore, the details of the actual status of the service industries will be clarified.

What are the features of these data? The census shows the number of commercial establishments, number of employees, annual merchandise sales, etc by all industries on a national, regional level and class of the establishment. The census also provides details the mechanism of the distribution of commodities, location of retail shops, etc.

What are the features of these data? Census shows the number of manufacturing establishments, number of the employees, value of manufactured goods shipment, consumed amount of water for industrial use, etc. across the nation by industry, scale and region.

What are the features of these data? The survey shows the number of business establishments and enterprise, number of employees, sales status of industries to which they provide services, etc. for selected service industries by scale and region.

These indices are intended to comprehensively grasp the statuses of production, shipments, and inventories of our country’s mining and manufacturing industries and are published every month. The source data are mainly based on the “Current Survey of Production” conducted by METI.

These indices are intended to grasp the production activities of all industries and also called “GDP as viewed from the supply side.” They are obtained by weight-averaging the “Indices of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries,” “Indices of Construction Industry Activity,” “Indices of Industrial Production,” “Indices of Tertiary Industry Activity,” and “Indices of Government Services etc.” with the added value weight of the base year and published every month.

These indices are intended to comprehensively grasp the production activity statuses of businesses falling under the tertiary industry sector (e.g., Wholesale and Retail Trade and Information and Communications) and are published every month. For the general indices, groups representing production activities of services of individual business types are weight-averaged by weight of added value in the base year.

This is a periodical publication that is published quarterly. It analyzes the economic trends in industrial activities centering on manufacturing and tertiary industries. It is published in the first ten days of June, September, December, and March. In the March issue, and a “Review of the year,” which summarizes the trends in the previous year, is published.

What are the features of these data? The indices enable us to perceive production activities of business establishments in the mining and manufacturing industries, supply and demand trends of produced products, production plans of manufacturers for two months ahead, and production-related facilities and their operational statuses.

What are the features of these data? The indices enable us to grasp domestic economic trends in a short term since the Indices of All Industry Activity are published monthly, as opposed to GDP (gross domestic product) reports, which are published by “Cabinet Office” every quarter. In addition, Indices of All Industry Activity (Final demand components), which represent the trends of the final demand components, are also published.

What are the features of these data? The indices enable us to see the activities of the tertiary industry by business types in a unified scale.

What are the features of these data? This survey analyzes the supply trends and characteristics in some industries and businesses and the trends in final demand in terms of supply and the relevant　background. It also analyzes the topics according to time period.

Input-output tables are comprehensively processed statistics that indicate the connection between industries, concerning transactions of all goods and services produced or sold in one year in specific countries/regions, in the form of tables. This table includes the “basic tables” prepared in cooperation with 10 ministries and government offices every five years, the “updated input-output tables” that supplement items in the interim years, “regional tables”, and “international tables”.

What are the features of these data? The vertical axis of the table on the left represents “cost components of products such as the amount of raw material input for its production,” while the horizontal axis represents “sales destination of the product.” In addition, you can identify the repercussion effect of demand on production such as “how much production will be induced directly/indirectly in each industry if one unit of demand in a certain industry is generated” by creating a coefficient based on the table.
