Japanese consumers are
early adopters and move fast to stay on the cutting edge of the latest technologies. Most companies in Japan listen carefully to consumer demands when developing new products, as many products in common use around the world have originated in Japan. Japan thus makes an ideal test market for new products and services. Source: The Global Competiveness Report 2007” World Economic Forum, 2007 7 © G&S International Japan 2009.

Luxury Foreign high-end retailers
have for years enjoyed Total Per Capita Sales of Top 5 Retail Markets strong sales in the Japanese market, which also serves as an unrivalled market for developing of high-end consumer products. Convenience A fast-paced lifestyle and the growth of e-commerce in Japan has created a strong market for foreign non- store retailers who provide quick and easy access to their products. Style Foreign apparel retailers, not able to do without such a vital market for apparel, continue to expand their businesses to this fashion-forward location. Comfort Home furnishing centers report growth year after year and are broadening their offerings to helping consumers achieve comfortable living environments, rather than only selling household products.

Japan’s need for
importing food opens opportunities for European food brands Some differences that Japan really set it apart from Japan Household Spending by Category, 2007 other advanced markets is consumer spending: Japanese consumers spend almost 15-17% of their monthly budgets on food alone. This compares to just 5-7% in the US and between 10-12% in Europe, the only category that was larger was „Other‟ spending, which includes gifts and free spending pocket money. In 2007 at least, households also put a larger proportion into savings, adding 19.1% of household income per month, however savings are sharply decreasing. • Japanese spend a surprising low 8% on health food spending is particularly high in Japan as inordinately food prices are high (self-sufficiency rate of Japan is only 40%, the lowest rate among the G7 nations, which means 60% of food in Japan is imported) (figures derived from the standard METI Household Accounts Survey on working households of 2 or more people, excluding rent expenses) Source: METI, 2008 9 © G&S International Japan 2009.

Giving gifts is
a major part of Japans’ culture In Japan, food is often the best gift. Japanese consumers are famous for their taste of expensive chocolate, wine, or even fruits. In the high-end supermarkets of downtown Tokyo, premium apples cost up to 16 EUR a piece. But not only premium and luxury is driving the Japanese gift and present market. It is more the custom to hand-over a gift at almost every occasion in life, let is be a visit to a friends‟ house or even returning to office from a short trip. Japanese want people around them let know their appreciation by giving a gift. Moreover, Japanese often return a gift in exchange, once they‟ve received one. Receive a foreign (European branded) product as a gift is seen as valuable; shows high appreciation. 10 © G&S International Japan 2009. All rights reserved. click to go back to menu

The Japanese retail
market can be divided into two categories: the volume market that mainly consists of relatively low-priced daily products, and the trend-conscious market for consumers that are highly sensitive to fashion, life-style and technology trends. 11 © G&S International Japan 2009.

IKEA Japan, established
2002 Business: home furnishings, retail Ikea is running 6 stores in Japan in 2009 (first two to opened in 2006) with huge success; Tommy Kullberg, President of Ikea Japan: “If Ikea can win the confidence of Japanese consumers, we can sell our products anywhere in the world.” H&M Japan, established 2008 Business: apparel, retail H&M released its annual report at the end of January 2009 and revealed that its Japanese subsidiary managed to rake in no less than ¥2.1 billion (16.8 million EUR) in just two months. The sales include the openings of the first two stores but only until the end of the company‟s financial year which is November 30.

• Extreme focus
on quality and on customer service • Need to show long term committement to Japan • Excellent distribution and service network a must • Some adaption to the Japanese market often required • Extreme need and request for technical information and documentation • Close and frequent communication to partner and customers necessary to maintain well-working long-term relations • Focus hard on hiring top people (a pool of very talented Japanese are available if you screen carefully). Use recruiting agencies and headhunters rather than printed or internet ads • OK to take a premium price still, although the market is becoming more competitive 16 © G&S International Japan 2009.

1) People People
are first. As anywhere else people are key to your success. Customers are people, employees are people, your business partners, your suppliers, Government regulators, your competitors are people. You need to accept that Japanese people may think differently than you do. In business in Japan this can be crucial. 2) There is no easy, quick, cheap way to succeed in Japan There are very few examples of companies which succeed overnight in Japan. It might be difficult to go-to-market without sufficient market research and planning. Just being convinced that your products sell themselves might be not enough in Japan. 3) Make sure you understand the market Companies succeeding in Japan go through to understand the landscape they are about to enter. If newcomers do not know what you’ll have expect they’re likely to fail. You need to understand what Japanese consumers really like, and learn from the mistakes and successes your competitors have gained in Japan before. 4) Your products must be competitive If you want to sell your products in Japan, they must provide a real value to satisfy real needs of Japanese customers at the right price. A range of "global products" which is a huge success around the world may not help you in Japan. You may need to adapt some of your products to Japanese market needs, still keeping your brand image up. 17 © G&S International Japan 2009. All rights reserved. click to go back to menu
