Rakuten outpaced the market strong

The Japanese ecommerce market is estimated to register a growth of 6.9% to reach JPY22.4 trillion ($194.3 billion) in 2022, according to a new report from GlobalData.

Japan is the fourth leading ecommerce market globally. China is the top market with total sales of $2.1 trillion, followed by the US with $1.5 trillion, and the UK with $292.1 billion.

The Japanese ecommerce market is dominated by domestic online retailers such as Rakuten and Mercari. However, international ecommerce retailers such as Amazon and Yahoo are gaining popularity among the Japanese consumers. Online shopping events such as White Day, Black Friday, and Cyber Monday have supported the ecommerce growth in the country.

In addition, nearly 70% of Japanese consumers have shopped online in the past month, while only 8% indicated that they never shopped online.
“The Japan e-commerce market has registered sustainable growth over the last five years supported by high mobile and online penetration and high consumer preference for online transactions,” GlobalData banking and payments lead analyst Ravi Sharma said.

The initial speed of Rakuten Mobile is faster than the developent of Rakuten Card in its early times

"You were aiming for 12 million applications, but do you have any details such as the target time?

Mr. Mikitani
I think that it will progress with the expansion of the network.

We are also conducting marketing by region, so we would like to announce our acquisition target at the appropriate time.

Compared to the initial speed of Rakuten Card, which is currently approaching 30 million, we believe that it is still overwhelmingly fast."

The ecosystem of Rakuten is the best marketing machine of Japan - and with no or extrem low marketing costs for Rakuten Mobile. Not any of three MNO-comeptitors of Rakuten Mobile have such advantages.

And therefore Rakuten Mobile subscribers will surpass 25 million too like Rakuten Card.

There exist no reason, that Rakuten Mobile subscribers will not surpass 25 million too
