The Japanese profit sector’s revenue reached JPY19.2 trillion ($146.1 billion) in 2022, declining at a negative compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.5% from 2017–22. The decline can be attributed to the country’s rising inflation, which negatively impacted the profit sector sales. According to the World Bank, inflation rose from 0.2% in 2021 to 6.1% in 2022 due to higher energy and food prices.
FSR was the top channel, contributing to 33.6% of total sales in the sector. QSR was the second-largest channel, accounting for 17.5% of the sector’s overall value in 2022. The channel remained popular among consumers due to the convenience and value for money it offers. During 2022–27, the Japanese profit sector will register a strong CAGR of 11.9%. The number of transactions will also register a CAGR of 7.9%, while the number of outlets will generate a CAGR of 1.5% during 2022–27.
