Industry Comparisons
During the 1980s and into the next decade, Japan successfully gained foreign market share in five of the six individual high-tech industries. By 1992, the United States
led in only one industry--aircraft--with a 40-percent share of total OECD exports. Germany also led in only one industry in 1992, holding a 17-percent share of OECD exports of pharmaceuticals. The 1992 data show Japanese industry leading the
industrialized world in exports in the other four high-tech industries. (See figure 6-8 and appendix table
6-4.)
