PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Shift to retail e-commerce likely to continue
The current value forecast for appliances and electronics specialists in Japan from 2024 to 2029 is positive, but not dynamic, as the number of households in Japan is expected to remain almost flat during this period, according to Euromonitor’s Consumers data. This stagnation means that natural growth within the channel is likely to be minimal.
The importance of offline retail set to endure
The shift towards e-commerce is likely to continue, yet the significance of offline appliances and electronics specialists will remain strong. In Japan, particularly for big-ticket purchases, the practice of seeing and touching products, and talking to staff before making a decision is still prevalent amongst consumers.
