Japan Fintech Market Trends and Drivers:

The Japan fintech market is robustly developing, buoyed by regulatory regimes enabling invention while providing the security of financial stability. This is compounded by the increased consumer demand for digital services, such as mobile payments, online banking, and customized financial solutions, as consumers move towards the ease of going cashless. The fact that consumers, a tech-savvy and innovative generation, are looking for alternatives to traditional cash and ways to do it quicker is driving this demand, whereas on the industry side, rapidly advancing technology in artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, machine learning, and data analytics allow for greater security and fraud detection and more customized offerings.  Government-promoted policy drivers facilitating the shift to a cashless society through tax incentives, coupled with Digital Transformation efforts, are expediting adoption in payments, lending, and wealth management segments.

With more investment allocated and established pillars of banking partnering with fintech startups, disruptive platforms, such as digital wallets and embedded finance, are being introduced to support consumer demand for cross-border payments and globalized economic inclusiveness. The expediting growth of fintechs benefits from Open Banking API integrations expanding their use and reach, robotic process automations for internal efficiencies, and the need for cyber resiliency as consumer demand for access grows in an evolving digital landscape. The challenges include the inherent regulatory complexities associated with shaking up existing ways of doing business and rival institutions. However, with ongoing investments in AI-led personalization, sustainability, and a multi-ontological approach across cloud and on-premise solutions, the industry is well placed for ongoing growth.
