Press Release Body = Japan continues to play a fundamental role in transforming the
global motor industry. The rise of its domestic car industry in the 1970's has done
much to improve the quality, specification and affordability of motor vehicles
around the world, but the Japanese market is now under serious pressure.

The continuing economic slump is a problem for the domestic market, and the days of
being a low-cost production location are long gone, and the country could,
ironically become a net importer of vehicles by 2020 as output from the new
developing nations deprives Japan of export opportunities and forces larger import
volumes into its domestic market.

However, for all the current challenges, the Japanese success story puts into clear
perspective how it is possible for a country to move from being a developing nation
to a global force in less than 30 years. It provides a template for what is almost
certain to happen in other developing nations in the years to come, and in
particular, what happens to exchange rates when they are allowed or forced to float
as a nation becomes industrialised and a major exporting source.

The implications, market drivers and scope of Japan's future vehicle market are
covered in the Japan Strategic Market Profile, a brand-new forecast of Japanese
automotive and related activity to 2020. Japan Strategic Market Profile is based on
Max Pemberton\'s unique relational long-term forecasting model, it forecasts car and
CV sales, demographics, materials usage, auto industry employment, and explains
their inter-relation with detailed analysis.

Japan Strategic Market Profile contains over 40 pages of analysis and 70+ graphs and
tables, it is the newest and most detailed long-term forecast on the Indian market
available anywhere. The profile is available in a flexible online format, in PDF, or
in print.
