World Bokan Unveils Japan-Friendly Country Ranking
In an effort to support cross-border e-commerce (EC) and overseas web marketing, World Bokan Inc., headquartered in Toshima, Tokyo, has recently published its annual ranking of the top 20 Japan-friendly nations. This ranking identifies the countries and regions that exhibit a high level of interest and affinity towards Japanese products, brands, and culture, serving as a vital resource for businesses seeking to enhance their marketing strategies in international markets.
Background of the Survey
As Japanese companies accelerate their entry into the cross-border e-commerce sector, the results they achieve can vary significantly across different countries. One significant factor contributing to these disparities is the varying levels of awareness and affection towards Japan in each country. For instance, within the Asian region, some countries demonstrate a strong trust in Japanese products, while others predominantly purchase local goods. This disparity leads to differences in advertising response rates and conversion rates.
The Japan-friendly country ranking was developed using proprietary metrics based on both internal analysis and external data. Let’s take a look at the top contenders:
