PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Improving apparel profits is key to future growth
The outlook for hypermarkets in Japan suggests continued slow and stable current value decline in the coming years. Historically, hypermarkets enjoyed consumer support because they offered the convenience of one-stop shopping.
Hypermarkets accelerate digital strategies
In light of the rise of new technologies, including generative AI, and the accompanying shifts in consumer expectations, various companies are accelerating their digitalisation efforts. AEON, for instance, has embraced “accelerating digital shift” as a central theme in its medium-term management plan.
Accelerating efforts towards sustainability
Despite a growing global trend towards sustainability, awareness amongst consumers in Japan remains notably low. According to Euromonitor International’s Lifestyles survey, fielded January to February 2024, over 60% of global consumers are actively trying to make a positive environmental impact through their daily actions.
