Japan is the world’s fourth-largest economy, with a GDP of USD 4.2 trillion in 2023 and one of the highest levels of per capita disposable income globally. In the consumer goods sector, the Japanese e-commerce market reached approximately USD 110 billion in 2023, reflecting a 4.8% year-on-year growth. Japanese consumers are renowned for their emphasis on quality, service, and brand loyalty—particularly in high-ticket categories where they are willing to pay for differentiated and refined experiences. In our new data pack series, we examine one of Japan’s largest e-commerce platforms: Rakuten. Rakuten holds a 28% share of Japan’s online B2C market, with 130 million registered users—covering over 80% of the Japanese population.
In March 2025, product categories such as Household & Living, Electronics & Gadgets, Food & Beverages stood out on Rakuten, becoming the top-selling categories of the month.

The 150+ page report covers:

  • Overview of category sales on the platform

  • Best-selling categories of the month

  • Subcategory breakdown of best-selling categories

  • Product price distribution

  • Sales performance within specific price ranges

  • Top 5 best-selling products in each subcategory

In terms of best-selling products:
  • Within the Household & Living category, among pet subcategory top selling products, a probiotic kidney health supplement named Azodyl, designed specifically for pets (primarily dogs and cats) and originating from France, stood out. This trend underscores Japanese consumers' heightened attention to pet health and their recognition of high-quality overseas products.​
  • Electronics and gadgets also garnered significant consumer interest, contributing to 21% of total sales. Japanese consumers showed particular enthusiasm for home appliances within this segment. Notably, a facial beauty hair removal device, priced at approximately $555 and boasting a claim of "ranked number one for 563 consecutive weeks," secured the second spot among the platform's top-selling products. This indicates a strong willingness among Japanese consumers to invest in personal image management.

According to the "Thailand - Country Commercial Guide" released by the U.S. Department of Commerce International Trade Administration in January 2024, Thailand has approximately 43.5 million e-commerce users, with 17-36 year-olds being the main force, accounting for 62% of Thailand's e-commerce market. The influx of more young users has played a significant role in driving e-commerce sales in Thailand. In addition, affluent Thai online shoppers have strong brand awareness, and as this group continues to grow, it is bound to inject new vitality and business opportunities into the Thai e-commerce market. The cross-border e-commerce market in Thailand is vibrant. According to the "Thailand - Country Commercial Guide," cross-border e-commerce accounts for 30% of the entire Thai e-commerce market, and nearly half of online shoppers have experience shopping on cross-border e-commerce platforms. In February 2024, the total sales revenue of the two main platforms Shopee and Lazada in Thailand reached approximately 762 million. ) [_download_description_0_content] => Array ( [0] => field_5b399a6b21e4d ) [download_description_1_title] => Array ( [0] => ) [_download_description_1_title] => Array ( [0] => ) [download_description_1_content] => Array ( [0] => ) [_download_description_1_content] => Array ( [0] => ) [download_description_2_title] => Array ( [0] => Highlight ) [_download_description_2_title] => Array ( [0] => field_5b399a5d21e4c ) [download_description_2_content] => Array ( [0] => Platform Performance: Shopee's sales are higher than Lazada's.

Starting February 2023, TMO no longer releases monthly South East Asia eCommerce sales estimates of the six Southeast Asian countries. Instead, we will refer to Shopee and Lazada's marketing calendars to collect and publish sales estimates for the selected country each month. To enhance readers' understanding of the top products, we will also translate the parts containing local languages into English.

The country plan for 2024 is as follows: Indonesia (January), Thailand (February), Malaysia (March), Vietnam (April), Indonesia (May), Singapore (June), The Philippines (July), Vietnam (August), Thailand (September), The Philippines(October), Singapore (November), and Malaysia (December).

At the same time, we will delve into various industries, continuously releasing industry outlooks to meet readers' needs for focused attention on specific industries.
