Foreign Share of Japan Chip Market Flat: The foreign share of Japan’s semiconductor market barely budged in the second quarter, figures showed. The 22.9% share of foreign chips in the Japanese market was just above 22.8% in the first quarter. The first-quarter figure marked a decline following three consecutive quarterly increases. “The last two quarters should serve as a major wake-up call, reminding everyone that achieving ‘steady progress’ in promoting foreign access to the Japanese semiconductor market requires continuing vigilance by all parties,” Daryl Hatano, vice president of the U.S. Semiconductor Industry Assn., said.
