Japan Digital OOH Advertising Market Trends:

Growing Popularity of Interactive and Experiential Advertising

The rising demand for interactive and experiential advertising is a critical factor bolstering the digital out-of-home (OOH) market in Japan. Modern individuals seek more than just passive advertising and want to be engaged, entertained, and immersed in the brand experience. Interactive digital displays, augmented reality (AR) setups, and touchscreen interfaces enable individuals to interact with advertisements more dynamically. This form of advertising not only attracts attention but also cultivates stronger emotional bonds between individuals and brands. As a technology-oriented country that welcomes advanced innovation, Japan is embracing this trend. Experiential advertising is favored for crafting unforgettable brand experiences, inviting clients to engage in activities, snap photos, or interact with their surroundings. This transition to interactivity enhances the impact of digital OOH ads and fosters greater engagement levels, resulting in a rise in the demand for this advertising format. In 2025, Japan Airlines launched the "You Mean the World" campaign, partnering with Liverpool FC and featuring digital OOH elements with 3D scans of football stars. Created by Jellyfish, the campaign highlights Japan Airlines' spirit of omotenashi. It aims to inspire travelers with a message of exceptional service and hospitality.

Rise of Programmatic Advertising

The growth of programmatic advertising is a significant factor in the expansion of digital OOH market in Japan. Programmatic advertising facilitates the automated purchase and sale of ad space in real-time, utilizing data and algorithms to enhance ad placement and targeting. This technology allows advertisers to modify their campaigns according to audience behavior, weather conditions, time of day, and various contextual factors, making sure that ads are displayed to the most suitable audience at the ideal time. Programmatic advertising enhances the success of digital OOH campaigns by optimizing the ad-buying process and refining targeting efficiency. As an increasing number of advertisers acknowledge the benefits of programmatic solutions in enhancing their marketing tactics, the need for digital OOH spaces is growing. This transition to programmatic advertising is transforming the realm of digital OOH, enhancing its accessibility and flexibility for various advertising requirements. In 2023, Moving Walls partnered with jeki to launch 'MASTRUM,' an automated platform for OOH advertising in Japan. The platform enabled efficient programmatic digital OOH advertising, ad space trading, and campaign measurement, aiming to expand jeki's media scope. The collaboration aimed to create a large OOH marketplace across Japan, leveraging first-party data for better planning and effectiveness.
