Japan Payments Market Trends and Drivers:

Japan payment market has experienced tremendous growth over the last few years, which can be attributed to the growing popularity of online forms of payment and the efforts of the government to encourage cashless payments. Mobile wallets, QR code payments, and contactless payments are replacing traditional payment methods such as cash and credit cards. Larger players like PayPay, Line Pay, and Rakuten Pay have increased their pool of users, and such incentives as cash back and discounts support them. The COVID-19 pandemic also hastened the process of switching to digital payments due to hygiene and convenience demands of the customers. As more and more people turn to favoring frictionless payments, it is possible to assume that the market will keep rising and climbing up the scale, helped by greater fintech and driven by new reforms of the financial market aimed at making it more inclusive.

Though the rapid growth occurred, cash use is still deeply embedded in the payment culture of Japan, and this may be a challenge to adopting it on a large scale. Nevertheless, the governmental program of the Cashless Vision states that by the year 2025, the proportion of payments without using cash should be up to 40%, which will encourage the growth of the market even more. The emergence of cross-border e-commerce and the introduction of AI-based payment solutions are also shaping the development of the market. Among the major trends currently observed is the switch to biometric authentication, payments based on blockchain, and the cooperation of fintech companies with banks. With the rising competition, payment providers are working towards boosting security and speed, along with offering an extended user experience in an attempt to win a bigger pie in the growing digital payment markets in Japan.
