Japan Buy Now Pay Later Industry Trends and Drivers:
The Japanese buy now pay later market has seen its explosive growth with the fast shifting consumer payment trends and speeding up the digitalization of commerce. The millennial and the Generation Z consumers as well as the younger generation are increasingly adopting the flexibility in payment systems that enable them to better spend money without necessarily using the traditional credit cards. The COVID-19 pandemic also dramatically increased the pace of Japanese e-commerce adoption, which provided BNPL services with a fertile environment as more people begin to shop online for clothes and electronics, as well as entertainment and medical supplies. The Japanese traditional fear of credit card debt also makes BNPL especially attractive to Japanese consumers, with such services usually providing interest-free installment payments on purchases made in the short term. Large retailers and e-commerce platforms are slowly adopting BNPL solutions in checkout to curb the rate of cart abandonment and to maximize the average purchase value, as they know that flexible payment options have a direct impact on the buying decision.
The competitive environment is becoming increasingly high with domestic payment providers and foreign BNPL experts increasing their presence in the Japanese market. The innovation in financial technology is facilitating a seamless incorporation of BNPL service into the online and physical point-of-sale setting, with mobile payment applications integrating BNPL support to provide the consumer with all the flexibility. Both large and small-to-medium enterprises are implementing BNPL solutions to both find price-conscious consumers and operate in a more digital marketplace. Fashion and consumer electronics are top adopters of BNPL, and these industries have large transaction volumes since consumers are finding cheaper methods to acquire high-priced products. The market is evolving under regulatory changes in the field of consumer protection and responsible lending where providers have established strong credit check systems and fee models. Another area where BNPL is increasingly being used in the leisure and entertainment sector is when it comes to booking travel products, purchasing event tickets, or prioritizing a subscription service, with consumers looking to pay in installments to capture the costs of experiential spending.
