– Japan’s SVOD Market Sees Continued Growth in 2023, Reaching 505.4 Billion Yen
Japan’s SVOD service market in 2023 is estimated to be 505.4 billion yen, up 12.1% from the previous year. Market share is calculated by the estimated total amount consumers pay to subscription service providers and does not include advertising and other revenues.
The market size has continued to expand: 322.2 billion yen in 2020 (+34.7% YoY), 386.2 billion yen in 2021 (+19.9% YoY), and 450.8 billion yen in 2022 (+16.7% YoY) reflecting the growing demand for home entertainment during the coronavirus pandemic. Although the momentum has slowed somewhat, the market continues to expand.
– Netflix Maintains Dominance in Japan’s SVOD Market, U-NEXT Emerges as Strong Competitor
Looking at the share of each service in Japan’s SVOD market, Netflix has maintained the top position since 2019. This is the fifth consecutive year it has held the top position despite two consecutive years of Y-on-Y declines.
U-NEXT was the next largest service, with a 15.0% market share (+2.4 pt. YoY). U-NEXT has continued to increase its market share since 2019 and, in 2022, it surpassed Amazon Prime Video to take second place. It saw a further increase in market share due to the service integration with Paravi starting in July 2023.
*Paravi’s market share figure is until June as a stand-alone service. After the merger with U-NEXT, Paravi’s market share is included in U-NEXT’s figure.
Of the 14 services surveyed this year, U-NEXT, Amazon Prime Video, Docomo Anime Store, and FOD increased their share from the previous year. U-NEXT increased its share most sharply from the previous year.
The report includes Japan’s market size and share trends by service for SVOD, rental-type video distribution (TVOD), and video sales (EST). It also estimates the market size of the overall video distribution market, including SVOD, TVOD, and EST, in 2023 and forecasts the market size until 2028 based on "base," "optimistic," and "pessimistic" scenarios. Furthermore, the above estimation logic is detailed so readers can confirm the method.
