February 10, 2012 Vol. 1
This year, we analyzed data from the most recent Global HABIT survey (conducted in 2011) from
a variety of perspectives to create a series of 10 reports containing hints for Japanese
companies competing in the global marketplace.
This, the first report in the series, presents results of analysis of the image held by
sei-katsu-sha(“consumers with a heartbeat”) in 14 Asian cities of products made in Japan, the
products and services they associate with Japan, made-in-Japan orientation【Made-in-Japan
orientation is the state where intention to purchase a Japanese product made in Japan (“made in
Japan”) is higher than intention to purchase a like product made by a Japanese company, regardless
of whether it is made in Japan or not (“Japanese brand”)】and more.
14 cities covered: Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Hong Kong, Taipei, Seoul, Singapore, Bangkok, Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur, Metro Manila, Ho Chi Minh City, Delhi, Mumbai 1. Image of Japanese products as excellent quality Comparing the 14-city average scores for image of Japanese products and American, European,
Korean and Chinese products, Japanese products received the highest score in nine of the 11
image items. The Japanese products score for excellent quality, in particular, was overwhelming.
However, with the growing image score for Korean products, which have been advancing rapidly
in recent years, slightly above that for Japanese products, trends in Korean products will be
watched in the years to come. Comparing data from 2006 and 2011, it should be noted that while
Japanese products’ scores for items indicative of trust in products (excellent quality, established
reputation, etc.) remain stable and high, scores for items indicative of product freshness
(growing image, smart/fashionable image, etc.) have been trending downward.
2. Over 50% associate durable consumer goods, animation/manga with Japan The 14-city average top 3 goods and services and entertainment associated with Japan are: (1)
Household appliances and audio/visual devices (69.2%), (2) digital products (computers, mobile

• “Made in Japan” has unshakable image as excellent quality
• Over 50% associate digital products; household appliances and audio/visual devices; private

• Products with strong made-in-Japan orientation: Durable consumer goods, cosmetics
Cities with strong made-in-Japan orientation: Hong Kong, Taipei, Singapore, Seoul

phones, digital cameras) (66.2%), and (3) private cars (59.0%), followed by animation/manga
(51.3%). The top 3 in each city mainly comprises durable consumer goods, but animation/manga
makes the top 3 in Hong Kong, Seoul, Jakarta and Guangzhou.
3. Products with strong made-in-Japan orientation: Durable consumer goods, cosmetics Cities with strong made-in-Japan orientation: Hong Kong, Taipei, Singapore, Seoul The 14-city average top 3 Japanese products respondents would like to purchase or try in future
are: (1) Digital products, (2) household appliances and audio/visual devices, and (3) private cars.
Cosmetics (women only) follows. With all four products, purchase intention is higher for products
made in Japan than products made by Japanese companies regardless of whether they were
made in Japan or not, indicating that these are products that have strong made-in-Japan
orientation. By city, made-in-Japan orientation is high in Hong Kong, Taipei, Singapore and
Seoul. At the same time, there are many products where there is little difference in the scores for
Japanese products made in Japan (“made in Japan”) and products made by Japanese
companies, regardless of whether they were made in Japan or not (“Japanese brand”), and
many cities where made in Japan is not an added value.

Details of the survey findings
1. Image of Japanese products as excellent quality Comparison of image of products made in Japan and those made in other countries (14-city average)
When 14-city average scores are compared, Japanese products received the top scores in nine
of 11 image items, indicating that image of products made in Japan is relatively high compared to
products made in other countries. The top 3 items for Japanese products are: (1) Excellent quality (64.6%), (2) established
reputation (49.0%) and (3) smart/fashionable image. These were followed by safe/secure
(36.0%). In excellent quality, Japanese products enjoy an unassailable score around 20 points
higher than American and European products, and around 40 points higher than Korean
products. Japanese products also score higher than products made in other countries in
smart/fashionable image and safe/secure. The overall image trends for American and European products are similar to that of Japanese
products. Korean products score high in growing image and smart/fashionable image, while
Chinese products score significantly higher than other countries’ products in low cost.

Time-series comparison of trust and freshness (2006 vs. 2011) The following chart indicates changes in image of products made in each country using three
items indicative of trust in products (excellent quality, established reputation, value-for-money)
and four items indicative of product “freshness” (growing image, smart/fashionable image,
pioneering/innovative image, interesting/enjoyable).
Japanese products are stable in items indicative of trust, with consistently high scores, however
there is a downward trend in items indicative of freshness that should be noted. Among products
made in other countries, there are no significant changes in scores for Korean and European
products, but scores for American products have advanced in both trust and freshness, while the
trust score for Chinese products has dropped significantly.
Trust and freshness of products made in each country (14-city average): 2006 vs. 2011
• Points for Trust are the sum of scores for:・ Excellent quality・ Established reputation・ Value-for-money
• Points for Freshness are the sum of scores for:・ Growing image・ Smart/fashionable image・ Pioneering/innovative image・ Interesting/enjoyable

Image of Japanese products (comparison by city)
In a city-by-city comparison, the No. 1 image of Japanese products in all 14 cities is excellent
quality, indicating that Japanese products have a firm reputation for high quality. Established
reputation is also in the top 3 in all 14 cities, and smart/fashionable image top 3 in the seven
cities of Singapore, Bangkok, Metro Manila, Delhi, Shanghai, Beijing and Guangzhou. With top 3
scores for safe/secure in Hong Kong and Taipei, as well, it is clear that there is high trust in the
quality and safety of Japanese products. Environmentally conscious, an image that will become
increasingly important to Japanese companies, ranks a low No. 10 in the 14-city average, but No.
3 in the rapidly developing market of Ho Chi Minh City.

3. “Made in Japan” vs. “Japanese brand”
From analysis so far, we know that Japanese products have an unshakable reputation for
excellent quality and that digital products, household appliances and audio/visual devices,
private cars and other durable consumer goods are the goods, services and entertainment most
associate with Japan. Since advanced technology, functions and quality are important
benchmarks for evaluating durable consumer goods, it appears that as a result of producing and
offering quality durables over many years Japanese companies have succeeded in creating an
image of excellent quality in the minds of Asian sei-katsu-sha.
Amidst the continuing record-high yen, Japanese companies are increasingly moving their
manufacturing bases overseas, so we wondered what Asian sei-katsu-sha think about where
Japanese products are produced. To find out, we compared Japanese products made in Japan
(made in Japan)n and products made by Japanese companies regardless of the place of
production (Japanese brand).
We asked about Japanese products--both made in Japan and Japanese brand--that

respondents would like to purchase or try in the future. In both categories, the 14-city average
top 3 are: (1) Digital products, (2) household appliances and audio/visual devices and (3) private
cars--all durable consumer goods--followed by cosmetics (women only). For these four products,
the scores for made in Japan are around 10 points higher than those for Japanese brand.
There is little difference between the two for other products, indicating that made in Japan does
not spell added value in those cases. This phenomenon appears to be prevalent in products
where the presence of Japanese products is not yet high, and those where national preferences,
such as flavor, come into play.

•Cities with strong made-in-Japan orientation The table below shows the product scores for made in Japan minus Japanese brand in each city. Adding the differences between the two in each city, it becomes clear that scores are much higher than the 14-city average in the four cities of Hong Kong, Taipei, Singapore and Seoul. In these four cities, and particularly in Taipei, the desire for Japanese products made in Japan is comparatively strong. As Japanese companies compete with global companies in the coming years, they should protect and fully leverage the advantage that made in Japan offers them in cities where it is already an added value.

Global HABIT is a comprehensive Hakuhodo survey and database that has grown to cover 34 major cities worldwide since 2000. Survey data is collected every year, enabling not only comparisons between cities, but also time-series comparison of single cities. Single-source Global HABIT surveys probe individual sei-katsu-sha’s lifestyles, values, media contact, purchase attitudes and use and perceptions of brands in many categories. This enables analysis not only of brand users, but of brand supporters at differing levels of perception (would consider purchasing, favor brand, brand fans, etc.).
