Analyst Opinion

The Traditional TV & Home Video market in Japan has seen significant developments in recent years.

Customer preferences: Japanese consumers have traditionally shown a strong preference for traditional TV and home video content. This is reflected in the high viewership ratings of popular TV shows and the continued popularity of physical media such as DVDs and Blu-rays. However, with the advent of streaming services and the increasing availability of online content, consumer preferences are gradually shifting towards digital platforms.

Trends in the market: One of the key trends in the Traditional TV & Home Video market in Japan is the rise of streaming services. Platforms such as Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and Hulu have gained popularity among Japanese consumers, offering a wide range of content including both local and international TV shows and movies. This trend is driven by the convenience and ease of access provided by streaming services, as well as the growing preference for on-demand viewing. Another trend in the market is the decline in physical media sales. While DVDs and Blu-rays still have a dedicated consumer base in Japan, the overall demand for physical media has been decreasing. This can be attributed to the rise of streaming services and the convenience of digital content delivery. Additionally, the younger generation in Japan is more inclined towards digital platforms, further contributing to the decline in physical media sales.

Local special circumstances: One of the unique aspects of the Traditional TV & Home Video market in Japan is the strong presence of local content. Japanese TV shows and movies have a dedicated fan base both domestically and internationally. This has led to the creation of niche streaming services that cater specifically to Japanese content enthusiasts. Furthermore, the popularity of anime and manga has also contributed to the growth of the market, with dedicated streaming platforms and physical media releases.

Underlying macroeconomic factors: The growth of the Traditional TV & Home Video market in Japan can be attributed to several macroeconomic factors. Japan has a high internet penetration rate and a technologically advanced infrastructure, which facilitates the adoption of digital platforms. Additionally, the increasing disposable income of Japanese consumers has allowed them to invest in home entertainment systems and subscribe to streaming services. Furthermore, the aging population in Japan has also contributed to the growth of the market, as older consumers tend to have a higher preference for traditional TV and home video content.

Modeling approach / Segment size:

The segment size is determined through a bottom-up approach. We use annual financial reports of the market-leading companies and industry associations, third-party studies and reports, survey results from our primary research (e.g., Consumer Insights), as well as performance factors (e.g., user penetration, price per product, usage) to analyze the markets. To estimate the segment size for each country individually, we use relevant key market indicators and data from country-specific industry associations, such as GDP, number of internet users, and internet consumption.
