According to the evening edition of the Nihon Keizai Shimbun reported on June 11, most of the umbrellas sold in Japan are foreign-made. Trade data show that Chinese umbrellas occupy an overwhelming advantage in the Japanese market. 2023 Japan imported about 79.27 million umbrellas, of which about 59.22 million are imported from China, accounting for nearly 75%.

According to the report, from the category, including plastic umbrellas, including long umbrellas, China accounted for 68% of Japan's total imports; if it is folding umbrellas, China's share is more than 90%. Because many folding umbrellas are expensive, Chinese products accounted for 83 percent of Japan's total imports.

Following China is Cambodia, which reportedly exports about 1989 million umbrellas to Japan. China and Cambodia already account for about 99.8% of Japan's imported umbrellas (by volume). The situation of China's "dominance" cannot be shaken for the time being.
