Japan Fintech Industry Trends and Drivers
Fintech in Japan is booming, with widespread digital adoption, government support, and movement towards cashless transactions. Digital payment platforms, like PayPay and Rakuten Pay, contribute to the spectacular growth, leveraging Japan's high internet penetration (84.9% of the Japanese population), as well as its growing number of smartphone users. Blockchain and artificial intelligence (AI) are both contributing to fintech, providing a safe transaction platform, and a more personalized customer experience. Fintech primarily occurs through cloud-based deployment, due to its scalability and affordability for SMEs and start-ups. In Japan, the banking sector is the primary source of demand from end-users, with fintech being employed towards digital banking solutions and lending as part of their service process.
However, insurance and securities sectors are utilizing fintech for InsurTech and wealth management. The governmental entities are also encouraging fintech development and foreign investment by launching initiatives like the Financial Services Agency’s fintech sandbox. The Kanto region, (with Tokyo), possesses the largest share of the market as it contains Japan's economic and financial hubs, with the Kinki and Chubu regions following. Japan's fintech industry must recognize regulatory challenges, as well has issues concerning consumer trust. Nevertheless, there are identifiable opportunities in embedded finance, open banking, and sustainable, environmental fintech solutions.
