Upcoming Strategic Seminar on Home Appliance Market

On September 12, 2025, CROSS Corporation will host a crucial seminar on the growth strategies of the home appliance market in Japan. The event will take place simultaneously at the Vision Center Grande in Hamamatsucho, Tokyo, and online. With a focus on manufacturers, distributors, and advertising agencies in the appliance sector, this seminar aims to address the evolving landscape and future strategies of the industry.

Greetings

As we look forward to 2025, the home appliance industry is witnessing several transformations. One significant development is the impact of the newly opened Yodobashi Camera store in Ikebukuro. This expansion is expected to make Ikebukuro one of the largest retail centers for home appliances in Japan, potentially disrupting markets in neighboring areas such as Shinjuku and Saitama.

Yamada HD’s LIFE SELECT is also emerging as a noteworthy player, presenting innovative whole-home solutions. The changing store openings across major cities are forecasted to have considerable effects on local markets.

Furthermore, an influx of Chinese manufacturers into the Japanese market and changing inventory policies among appliance retailers are poised to challenge existing players. This seminar will delve into these topics with insights gathered from current market research. Your participation is welcomed.
