Japan Online Gambling Market Trends:
One of the primary factors driving the market is the increasing dependence on smartphones. Furthermore, the incorporation of blockchain technology is escalating the demand for online gambling as it secures payments ensuring transparency in gaming activities. In line with this, the sudden outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has led to the extensive adoption of the work-from-home (WFH) culture, thus escalating the demand for online gambling across the country. Apart from these factors, the convenience of adopting mobile and online payment gateways is propelling the market growth. Moreover, the advancements in the digital space are creating lucrative opportunities for the key players in the market. For instance, the integration of virtual reality (VR) in gambling creates the simulation of surroundings, thus improving the consumer experience. Other growth-inducing factors include celebrity endorsements, the advent of bitcoin gambling, stringent regulations imposed by the Government of Japan for the benefit of gamblers, and corporate sponsorships. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market value to reach USD 12.9 Billion by 2033, expanding at a CAGR of 5.3% during the forecast period (2025-2033).
