PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Convenience stores as essential social infrastructure
Japan’s geographical position at the intersection of multiple tectonic plates makes it particularly vulnerable to seismic activity. Amongst these events, the Nankai Trough Earthquake stands out as a significant threat, with a high probability of striking along the middle to southern Pacific coast, impacting major metropolitan areas such as Nagoya.
Diversifying revenue streams important to increase profitability
In a saturated market, it has become increasingly important for retailers to seek revenue growth beyond traditional store sales. Companies are therefore exploring various avenues, such as retail media, loyalty programmes, and click commerce, to expand their businesses.
Adapting to growing inbound demand
According to Euromonitor’s travel data, Japan experienced a significant decline in inbound arrivals during 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the various restrictions that ensued. However, the situation began to improve in 2022, and by 2023, a notable recovery occurred when Japan reclassified COVID-19 as a less risky infectious disease.
