The Japanese
Market

90% of Japanese people use the internet. The EC market in Japan has grown to be the 4th biggest in the world, behind China, the US and the UK. When one takes into account that Japan has a smaller population than China, you can see how attractive a market of this size is to foreign companies.

At WASABIZ, we are available to help your company enter the Japanese market with years of proven success.  Take the guess work out of entering the Japanese market and talk with us about your needs!
