What is JA2024?
Japan's soaring aerospace industry
Japan's aerospace industry plays an important role in the world by providing licensed production of defense
aircraft and developing small and large aircraft, satellites, and rockets, as well as participating in various
international joint development projects and collaborative production. This industry exceeded a production
value of two trillion yen in the late 2010s.
After this production value decreased due to the decline in aircraft demand during the COVID-19 pandemic,
FY2022 saw a rapid turnaround with a 13.6% year-on-year increase. This recovery is expected to continue
into the future.
The production of engines for civil applications is also on track for a full recovery as things return to normal
after the COVID-19 pandemic. With the production of commercial aircraft such as the Boeing 787 and 777X
expected to increase in the future, we can confidently anticipate long-term growth. As for the defense
sector, there are high expectations for the stable procurement of fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft, and the
development of next-generation fighter aircraft based on the Defense Buildup Program announced in 2022.
Japan Aerospace Industry Sales
A wide range of exhibitors covering the entire industry
JA2024 brings together government agencies, embassy officials, major companies, and industry players so you can stay up to date with the latest global market conditions. In addition to showcasing aerospace and defense manufacturing, operation, and MRO, companies from a wide range of industries will participate to display their parts, materials, machine tools, measurement and inspection equipment, software, business operations, and shipment services. Exhibitors will have opportunities to broaden their businesses in various fields not only with visitors but also with other exhibitors.
Introductions to a wide range of new areas and trends
In addition to the existing exhibit areas, JA2024, the first since JA2016 and JA2018, we wish to invite exhibitors involved in cutting-edge fields such as decarbonization (SAF/hydrogen/electrification), UAM (flying cars/drones), and the space business (small satellites/space exploration). We aim to provide new opportunities for Japanese and overseas aerospace companies that are breaking new ground in areas such as urban air transportation, in addition to existing areas such as the manufacture, MRO, and maintenance of airframes and equipment, materials development, and the provision of passenger transportation services.
