Japan Digital Video Content Market Trends:

High Smartphone and Internet Penetration

Japan has one of the highest internet and smartphone penetration rates globally, driving the consumption of digital video content. According to industry reports, at the beginning of 2024, Japan had 104.4 million internet users, with internet penetration reaching 84.9%. In January 2024, Japan had 96.00 million social media users, representing 78.1 percent of its entire population. In early 2024, Japan had 188.9 million active cellular mobile connections, representing 153.6 percent of its total population. With widespread access to high-speed broadband and mobile internet, consumers can stream videos seamlessly across multiple devices, which is fueling the Japan digital video content market share. Smart TVs, along with tablets and gaming consoles, enhance digital video consumption at higher levels. Through mobile applications such as YouTube and Netflix, and Hulu Japan, people can access digital video content anytime, leading to its integration into everyday life. Fiber-optic networks coupled with 5G expansion will boost high-quality digital video content demand as internet speeds advance.

Increasing Demand for Streaming Services

The shift from traditional television to on-demand streaming platforms is a major driver of the digital video content market in Japan. Subscription-based services like Amazon Prime Video, Netflix, and Disney+ continue to gain popularity, offering vast libraries of movies, anime, and TV shows. Additionally, Japanese platforms such as U-NEXT, dTV, and AbemaTV cater to local tastes with exclusive content. Consumers prefer personalized, ad-free experiences, pushing platforms to invest in premium and exclusive content. As more viewers cut the cord from traditional cable TV, streaming services are set to dominate Japan’s entertainment landscape, thereby creating a positive impact on the Japan digital video content market outlook. For instance, in September 2024, adaptive streaming technology firm SeenThis revealed its entry into Japan by launching an office in Tokyo. Through this initiative, SeenThis is increasing its footprint in Asia after launching various successful campaigns in Japan. Gaining access to SeenThis’ adaptive streaming technology will enable advertisers in the region to execute more impactful video-based campaigns. Traditionally, static, image-focused banner ads have prevailed in Japan's display advertising landscape. The arrival of SeenThis will introduce a revolutionary option in the market with its cutting-edge video solution.
