Analysis of Video Streaming Services Market in Japan
SVP Japan, a member-based market research company headquartered in Chuo, Tokyo, has released its latest report titled "Analysis of Video Streaming Services: Current State and Future Prospects in the Domestic Market" for its member companies. This comprehensive report delves into the evolving landscape of video streaming services in Japan, a market significantly impacted by technological advancements and changing consumer preferences.
Overview of the Video Streaming Services Market
The Japanese video streaming service market has diversified remarkably, encompassing various paid services like TVOD (Transaction Video on Demand) and SVOD (Subscription Video on Demand), as well as advertising-supported models such as AVOD (Advertising Video on Demand). The introduction of low-cost subscription plans with advertisements has also emerged, reflecting the ongoing evolution in this industry.
The entry of Netflix, a major U.S. player, into the Japanese market in 2015 catalyzed substantial growth, coinciding with the proliferation of smartphones. The COVID-19 pandemic further accelerated this expansion, as consumers turned to digital platforms for entertainment amid lockdown measures. While recent signs of growth rate deceleration have appeared, the market has shown resilience, sustained by an increasing demand for original and exclusive content as well as the proliferation of internet television.
Projections for 2024 suggest that the market size will reach approximately 580 billion yen, with expectations for continued gradual growth leading up to 2027.
Current Market Landscape
In Japan, the video streaming service sector is dominated by Netflix, which holds the largest market share, followed closely by local players such as U-NEXT and Amazon Japan. Each competitor strives to differentiate itself through the enhancement of original and exclusive content offerings while focusing on niche genres like sports and anime.
There’s a marked trend of collaboration between streaming services and telecommunications companies or television networks, enhancing user bases through integrated services. New revenue models combining ad-supported streaming and subscription plans are blurring the lines between free and paid services, which may significantly impact user experiences and market competitiveness moving forward.
