As a company responsible for online payment and Card Present Transactions infrastructure centered on the e-commerce (EC) market, the Group will create a safer and more convenient e-commerce and cashless environment, and contribute to the improvement of Japan EC ratio, the promotion of DX (digital transformation), and the increase in the cashless ratio. In addition, we will strive to expand our business scale through the development of new businesses, business and capital alliances with business partner companies, the establishment of subsidiary, and overseas business development.

Establishing a Growing Market

Expansion of EC market

The EC ratio of Japan is still at a low level compared to developed countries in Europe and the United States, and the e-commerce market is expected to expand in the medium to long term due to the development of Japan logistics networks, the penetration of subscriptions into daily life, and the introduction of Online Merges with Offline (OMO).

Progress of cashless payments

Japan's cashless payment market continues to expand in response to inbound tourism and government policies. However, the ratio of cashless payment is still at a low level compared to developed countries in Europe and the United States, and there is great room for growth in the medium to long term as a solution to social issues such as population decline and regional revitalization faced by Japan.

Positioning in Growth Markets

Expansion of EC market

EC market is expected to expand over the medium-to-long term with the development of logistics networks, penetration of subscription services in daily lives and implementation of Online-Merges-with-Offline (OMO), as Japan's EC penetration rates still remains lower than developed countries such as US and Europe.

Progress of cashless migration

Japan's cashless payment market is on an expansionary path, given the need to cater to inbound tourist and government's policy.
Still, current cashless payment penetration remains low compared to developed countries of US and Europe, and therefore holds growth potential in the medium-to-long term as the means to resolve the social issues faced by Japan such as depopulation and regional revitalization.
