In 2024, electrical machinery as well as general machinery accounted for the largest share of Japan's foreign trade, with both major categories summing up to almost 30 percent. Mineral fuels followed with a 13.7 percent share. Due to the scarcity of mineral fuel reserves in the country, the domestic energy sector is reliant on imports from overseas to cover domestic demand.
