Solid Iron – How 60-Years of Japanese Investment in Western Australian Iron Ore Frames Future Investment Opportunities
Squire Patton Boggs | English | AcademicThink | Oct. 15, 2025 | UndeterminedEconomic Growth
Japan and Western Australia share a longstanding partnership centered on iron ore, linking the Pilbara region’s mining sites with Japan’s steel production facilities. Pilbara iron ore is excavated, processed, and transported to Western Australian ports before being shipped to Japan, where it forms the foundation for steel used in Tokyo’s infrastructure. Currently, Western Australia supplies over 50% of Japan’s iron ore imports.
This relationship extends beyond simple trade, involving decades of collaboration that include overcoming early export challenges and Japanese investment in major Western Australian iron ore projects. Japanese financial support has been pivotal in developing the iron ore industry in Western Australia, establishing and sustaining export markets that remain critical to the Australian economy. This historical partnership also lays the groundwork for future investment opportunities in emerging markets, technologies, and industries connected to iron ore.
