Navigating Automotive & Mobility Sector in Japan

Rising Manufacturing Costs in Japan Automotive Market

Japan's automotive sector is witnessing a notable increase in manufacturing costs, rising by around 10% over the past two years. Material prices contribute significantly.
Strengthening R&D investments and exploring innovative solutions in supply chain management could leverage lower logistics expenditures to hedge increasing costs.

Adapting to Emission Regulations and Environmental Laws

Stringent environmental laws are pushing emissions reduction, causing automotive companies to invest massively—estimated at around $8 billion yearly on average.
This shift incentivizes the adoption of cleaner technologies and rerouting capital towards EV development, aiming for a share increase of 25% by 2035.

Electrification Drives Opportunities in Japan's Market

With an aggressive drive towards EVs, projections suggest EVs may intertwine with 40% of Japan's automotive market in 20 years, prompting substantial scopes in EV segments.
Supporting infrastructure initiatives, including ramping up charging stations by 80% can reinforce the market transformation route and enhance penetration rates.

Increasing Demand for Autonomous Vehicle Technologies

Statistics indicate promising growth, forecasting an upward growth trajectory for autonomous vehicle technological advancements by 50% over the next decade in Japan.
Streamlining processes in tech collaboration and cybersecurity while capturing growing local talent could markedly enhance competitive positioning within this sector.

What Our Clients Say About Us

"During the course of the process, I found YCP Solidiance highly capable to support Toyota to better understand “ASEAN countries”. We usually work with Japanese consulting company and from their report, we can be a “book smart” but can’t have a clear picture of what’s going on in the real market. The project with YCP Solidiance brought us “real market experience”. YCP Solidiance's local consultants got their hands dirty in the marketplace with me. This approach enabled me to understand critical consumer insights behind data. I found it very valuable experience. Thank you very much."

I would personally like to congratulate YCP Solidiance on the commendable job your team has done in supporting us, with professionalism, business intelligence, and solid market insights, in the development of a route-to-market strategy for a completely new country.

We look forward to continuing working with YCP Solidiance and highly recommend them as growth partners."
