Japan Market Entry Japan Market Entry

With a population of approximately 130 million, excellent public safety, and well-developed business environment, Japan, as one of the most advanced countries in Asia, is an exceptionally attractive market. However, for non-Japanese companies, the Japanese market is a venture into the unknown, and it has unique business customs and distribution channels. To smoothly launch a business in Japan and penetrate into the Japanese market, it is important to craft market entry and expansion strategies based on a clear understanding of the product’s market size, future potential, competitive landscape, differentiation from competitors, and the supply chain model. Tanabe Consulting, a trailblazer in strategic consulting in Japan, brings over 65 years of expertise to the table. Equipped with an in-depth understanding of the Japanese business landscape, Tanabe Consulting stands ready to offer comprehensive support for ambitions to venture into and grow within the Japanese market.

Industry

Tanabe Consulting has consulting teams specialized in areas such as food/agriculture, manufacturing, construction, housing, supply chain & logistics, and life & services, and has a nationwide human network based on high expertise and deep customer understanding. We have a track record of solving industry-specific management issues using optimal methods.

  • Food/Agriculture (food manufacturing, food distribution, food service, agriculture, fisheries and livestock)

    Even if you refer to the food/agriculture industry as a whole, we provide a wide variety of products and services, depending on the client's type of business, such as agricultural corporations, manufacturers, restaurants, and wholesalers. Tanabe Consulting has accumulated clinical experience across the country and promises to solve a variety of issues for food-related companies, including new product development and branding.

  • Manufacturing (chemicals, metals, machinery, electronics, information and communications, automobiles)

    While the environment surrounding the manufacturing industry has been forced to undergo severe changes such as raw material shortages, price increases, and supply chain disruptions, there is also a movement to utilize new technology to take a bird's-eye view of the entire value chain and update it. In addition to passing on higher costs to customers, the key to growth as a manufacturing industry is to pass on value to customers.

  • Construction (construction, building materials, infrastructure, equipment, environmental energy)

    The construction industry is a key industry for the country and plays an important role in the development, maintenance, management, and renewal of social infrastructure. However, issues in this industry include a lack of productivity improvement due to the customary working environment and a future shortage of workers due to the declining birthrate and aging population. Companies in the construction industry are working to improve labor productivity through automation and labor savings.

  • Housing (housing/real estate)

    We define housing-related companies, such as companies that handle housing and electricity, gas, and other energy companies, etc., as the "housing and lifestyle industry". At a time when social issues such as a decline in the population and the number of new construction starts, an increase in vacant houses, and an aging society are becoming more serious, we provide a variety of support, from formulating business strategies to on-site improvements, with the keyword "individualization" in order to become a company of choice. I am.

  • Supply chain & logistics (wholesale, logistics, distribution, retail)

    We provide a wide range of support, from vision formulation to logistics site improvements, mainly for companies in the trunk transportation, last mile, warehouse and port transportation industries. We are accelerating support for the industry structural transformation that will address the 2024 problem. For the future of the logistics industry that supports a variety of businesses, our specialized team with a rich track record and experience provides optimal solutions.

  • Life & Services (BtoB services/BtoC services)

    We mainly supports seven areas in Life & Services: clothing, food, housing, beauty, entertainment, knowledge, and health. As all businesses are required to shift to providing value not only in goods but also in services, we contribute to realize rich lifestyles through support for these companies.
