Japan: A complex opportunity for SMEs
As the world’s fourth-largest economy in terms of nominal GDP and purchasing power parity (PPP), Japan is an irresistible market. An openness to innovation and technology, a highly skilled workforce, and a premium-grade infrastructure further enhance the country’s allure.
Despite the market’s magnetism, companies from around the world often hesitate to expand in Japan. Small and midsized enterprises (SMEs) are especially intimidated by the prospect of entering Japan, as language and cultural barriers can make the market excessively expensive and difficult to penetrate.
Traditional “market entry” support companies, which focus on costly subsidiary establishments services, play a role in this perception. When compared to most Western countries, Japan has a significantly slower business development cycle, which only intensifies the cost of setting up a subsidiary. For example, subsidiary establishment can consume over $1million in the years it takes to achieve a significant return on investment. This is a gamble that most SMEs are unwilling to take.
