One of the major features of IDEA is that it covers all business economic activities in Japan. The number of datasets contained in this database is now 3,825 in total.
IDEA contains LCI datasets of non-manufacturing sectors (agriculture, forestry and fisheries, mining, construction and civil engineering) as well as manufacturing sectors (food and beverage, textile, chemical industry, ceramics and building materials, metal and machinery) and also sectors such as electricity, gas, water and sewerage. It covers all products that are classified within the scope of the Japan Standard Commodity Classification, so the comprehensiveness is guaranteed.
