Why Japan?

Japan is the world’s 3rd largest e-commerce market, worth over USD 160B.

Japanese consumers are loyal, digital-first, and willing to pay for quality. However, entering Japan is not simple. The market has its own rules:

  • Local payment methods required
  • High standards for delivery & returns
  • Unique marketing channels

Without local expertise, even strong global brands often struggle to gain traction in Japan.
