该报告根据设备类型对市场进行了详细的细分和分析。这包括游戏机、手机和平板电脑以及电脑。
日本游戏产业的偏好从基于单位销售的商业模式转向基于参与的模式,这正在推动游戏机的销售不断升级。 2023 年 8 月,Geo Holdings 在日本各地开发了復古游戏电脑控制台。例如,2024 年 2 月,任天堂宣布该公司仅在日本就售出了超过 700 万台 Nintendo Switch OLED 设备。此外,行动装置的便利性和可近性使其成为广大人群的首选游戏平台,这是另一个重要的成长诱导因素。国内常见的一些可以在智慧型手机上玩的游戏包括《萨尔达传说》、《最终幻想》、《勇者斗恶龙》、《索尼克》、《玛利欧》、《潜龙谍影》、《太空侵略者》等。

对多人线上游戏 (MMO) 的需求不断增长正在推动市场跨越细分市场。例如,BitSummit 成立的目的是为日本的独立游戏製作者提供向世界展示他们的游戏的机会。此外,它还获得了任天堂、索尼、微软和 Valve 等领先产业公司的支持。相比之下,日本的线下游戏仍然强劲,尤其是在游戏机和街机领域。 Nintendo Switch 上的《萨尔达传说:王国之泪》等游戏提供了身临其境的离线体验,在全国范围内非常受欢迎。这反过来又增加了日本游戏市场占有率。
该报告根据收入类型对市场进行了详细的细分和分析。这包括游戏内购买、游戏购买和广告。
游戏内购买,尤其是手机游戏内的购买,在《原神》和《乌玛娘 Pretty Derby》等热门游戏的推动下,占了收入的很大一部分。这些游戏利用扭蛋机制和季节性活动来激励玩家花钱购买虚拟物品和角色。游戏购买,包括主机游戏和电脑游戏的实体和数位销售,也发挥关键作用。此外,广告提供了稳定的收入来源。开发者将广告无缝整合到游戏玩法中,为观看广告或在游戏关卡之间展示广告提供奖励,从而无需直接购买即可从庞大的玩家群中获利。这种多样化的收入结构迎合了不同玩家的喜好和消费习惯,推动了日本游戏市场的成长。
该报告根据类型提供了详细的市场细分和分析。这包括冒险/角色扮演游戏、拼图、社交游戏、策略、模拟等。
冒险和角色扮演游戏是一个重要的细分市场,因为它们为用户提供了深刻的叙事和互动体验。此外,《智龙迷城》和《Line: Disney Tsum Tsum》等益智游戏因其引人入胜且令人上瘾的游戏玩法而在该国非常受欢迎。另一方面,策略游戏提供复杂的战术挑战,从而吸引喜欢策略规划和竞技游戏的玩家。此外,其他类型,包括动作、恐怖、运动等,也正在提升日本游戏市场的收入。
该报告根据年龄组对市场进行了详细的细分和分析。这包括成人和儿童。
成年人越来越倾向于深入的叙事和复杂的游戏机制,这推动了该细分市场的成长。例如,2023 年 9 月,任天堂日本推出了一款用于游戏机订阅服务的应用程式 Nintendo Switch Online,该应用程式仅适用于 18 岁以上的用户。除此之外,根据日本游戏市场概况,教育游戏和应用程式在全国范围内广受欢迎,因为它们是专门为培养儿童认知技能并为儿童提供娱乐而设计的。
该报告还对所有主要区域市场进行了全面分析,包括关东地区、近畿地区、中部/中部地区、九州冲绳地区、东北地区、中国地区、北海道地区和四国地区。
大阪近畿地区的台东游戏广场等游戏厅的广泛存在正在扩大市场。此外,在中国地区,人们对社交和模拟游戏有明显的偏好,这反映了该地区的人口趋势。根据日本游戏市场统计数据,以製造中心而闻名的中部/中部地区拥有多元化的游戏文化,对传统游戏机和新兴行动平台的兴趣均衡。这些区域见解凸显了市场的多样性和活力,旨在满足每个地区的独特偏好和生活方式。

Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 57.8 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 10.1% during 2024-2032. The inflating popularity of social gaming, where multiplayer games are integrated with social media platforms, along with the rising demand for e-sports, is primarily driving the market.
Demand for Gaming Peripherals
The increasing number of professional gamers is propelling the demand for gaming peripherals, such as mechanical keyboards, headsets, mice, joysticks, etc. This, in turn, is augmenting the market across the country. According to the report published by IMARC, the Japan gaming peripherals market size reached US$ 241.9 Million in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group projects the market to reach US$ 462.6 Million by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 7.2% during 2024-2032. Additionally, the development of PCs that support innovative features, such as facial recognition, high-quality graphics, gesture-based gaming, etc., is also acting as another significant growth-inducing factor. For example, in February 2024, Nick Falzone launched a wooden gaming PC with a hardline water-cooling system based on the Japanese Kumiko woodworking technique. Besides this, the growing inclination among the millennial population towards high-quality graphics, facial recognition, and gesture-based gaming is further positively influencing the Japan gaming market outlook. For instance, in June 2022, Sony, a multinational conglomerate corporation headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, introduced a PC gaming gear that provides an interactive game environment to users. Moreover, extensive collaborations by prominent players to expand the product portfolios will continue to fuel the market across the country in the coming years. For example, in April 2024, Animoca Brands Japan announced that it entered into a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with SQUARE ENIX CO., LTD., to strengthen the marketing of SYMBIOGENESIS, a SQUARE ENIX's game and associated collection of 10,000 NFT characters with game utility.

Moreover, virtual reality games are played by using a wide array of VR gaming peripherals, such as headsets, hand controllers, smart glasses, sensor-equipped gloves, etc., which is escalating the Japan gaming market demand. According to a survey by Fuji Keizai (Tokyo/Chuo), the domestic market size for industrial AR/MR display equipment, such as smart glasses, was ¥ 2.1 Billion in 2018 and is expected to grow to ¥ 2.5 Billion by 2025. Apart from this, the elevating investments by primary companies in aggressive marketing campaigns to expand their existing consumer base and promote their products in the country are catalyzing the market. For instance, in May 2024, Thirdverse, Co., Ltd, one of the VR development studios in Japan, announced the introduction of its new publishing support services, tailored specifically for international VR game publishers aiming to enter the market across the country. Furthermore, the increasing popularity of location-based entertainment (LBE) is expected to drive the market in the coming years. For example, in May 2024, DIVR Labs, one of the designers of virtual worlds and free-roam 4D VR arenas, developed a VR arena at the Yokohama World Porters, a popular shopping mall in Yokohama, Japan. Moreover, the DIVR immersive arena provides thrilling original games that are integrated with 4D effects to offer a memorable experience to visitors.
Development of Anime-Based Games
The inflating popularity of manga-based games, owing to the expanding millennial population across the country, is elevating the Japan gaming market's recent price. According to the data published by the Statista Research Department in January 2024, around 5% of respondents, mainly the millennials, named the manga and anime series Oshi no Ko in Japan.

Apart from this, the launch of anime-based games with stunning visuals and engaging gameplay is catalyzing the market. For example, in April 2024, KLab Inc. developed a smartphone game in Japan based on Haruichi Furudate's manga, Haikyu. Furthermore, famous scenes and quotes from the original animation series are included in the game, which will fuel the market in the coming years.
IMARC Group provides an analysis of the key trends in each segment of the market, along with the Japan gaming market forecast at the country and regional levels for 2024-2032. Our report has categorized the market based on the device type, platform, revenue type, type, and age group.
The report has provided a detailed breakup and analysis of the market based on the device type. This includes consoles, mobiles and tablets, and computers.
The shifting preferences from unit-sales-based business models towards engagement-based models across the gaming industry in Japan are escalating the sales of consoles. In August 2023, Geo Holdings developed its retro game computer console across Japan. For instance, in February 2024, Nintendo announced that the company sold over 7 million Nintendo Switch OLED devices in Japan alone. Moreover, the convenience and accessibility of mobile devices make them the preferred gaming platform for a wide demographic, which is acting as another significant growth-inducing factor. Some of the common games across the country that can be played over smartphones include Zelda, Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, Sonic, Mario, Metal Gear Solid, Space Invaders, etc. Apart from this, the launch of computers with higher internet speed represents one of the Japan gaming market's recent opportunities.
The report has provided a detailed breakup and analysis of the market based on the platform. This includes online and offline.
The rising demand for multiplayer online games (MMOs) is driving the market across the segmentation. For instance, BitSummit was founded with the goal of giving independent game makers in Japan a chance to show their games to the world. Additionally, it receives support from leading industry companies like Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft, and Valve. In contrast, offline gaming in Japan remains robust, particularly in the console and arcade segments. The Nintendo Switch, with games like "The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom," provides immersive offline experiences that are highly popular among individuals across the country. This, in turn, is increasing the Japan gaming market share.
The report has provided a detailed breakup and analysis of the market based on the revenue type. This includes in-game purchase, game purchase, and advertising.
In-game purchases, particularly within mobile games, represent a substantial portion of the revenue, driven by popular titles, such as "Genshin Impact" and "Uma Musume Pretty Derby." These games utilize gacha mechanics and seasonal events to incentivize players to spend on virtual items and characters. Game purchases, encompassing physical and digital sales of console and PC games, also play a critical role. Additionally, advertising provides a steady income stream. Developers integrate ads seamlessly into gameplay, offering rewards for watching ads or presenting them between game levels, thereby monetizing a vast player base without direct purchases. This diverse revenue structure caters to different player preferences and spending habits, which is driving the Japan gaming market growth.
The report has provided a detailed breakup and analysis of the market based on the type. This includes adventure/role playing games, puzzles, social games, strategy, simulation, and others.
Adventure and role-playing games are a significant segment, as they offer deep narratives and interactive experiences to users. Additionally, puzzle games, such as Puzzle & Dragons and Line: Disney Tsum Tsum, are extremely popular in the country due to their engaging and addictive gameplay. On the other hand, strategy games provide complex tactical challenges, thereby appealing to players who enjoy strategic planning and competitive gameplay. Moreover, other genres, including action, horror, sports, etc., are also elevating the Japan gaming market revenue.
The report has provided a detailed breakup and analysis of the market based on the age group. This includes adult and children.
The increasing inclination among adults toward deep narratives and intricate gameplay mechanics is propelling the segment's growth. For instance, in September 2023, Nintendo Japan introduced an app for the console's subscription service, Nintendo Switch Online, that is available to only 18+ users. Besides this, according to the Japan gaming market overview, educational games and apps are gaining widespread popularity across the country, as they are specifically designed to develop cognitive skills and provide entertainment to children.
The report has also provided a comprehensive analysis of all the major regional markets, which include Kanto Region, Kinki Region, Central/ Chubu Region, Kyushu-Okinawa Region, Tohoku Region, Chugoku Region, Hokkaido Region, and Shikoku Region.
The wide presence of gaming arcades, including Taito Game Plaza, across the Kinki Region, Osaka, is augmenting the market. Moreover, in the Chugoku Region, there is a notable preference for social and simulation games, reflecting the region's demographic trends. According to the Japan gaming market statistics, the Central/Chubu Region, known for its manufacturing hubs, has a diverse gaming culture with a balanced interest in both traditional consoles and emerging mobile platforms. These regional insights underline the diverse and vibrant nature of the market, which is catered to meet the unique preferences and lifestyles of each area.
