Japan Consumer Credit Industry Trends and Drivers:

The Japan consumer credit market continues to grow due to gradual changes in household borrowing behavior, demand for using credit by younger consumers, and an increasing dependence on credit to meet lifestyle and convenience needs. Revolving credits (credit cards, revolving loans) dominate the market, supported by the prevalence of credit cards, cashless payment efforts, and rewards programs by the leading credit card issuers. Non-revolving credit (personal loans, installment loans) continues to grow, especially for purchasing durable goods, education, and medical expenses. Within this segment, credit services still lead but software and IT support services are also expected to grow as credit applications, approvals, and tracking move online. Banks and finance companies dominate the issuance of these cards. Banks have the largest branch networks, trusted brands, and are able to meet regulatory requirements.

Some fintechs and credit unions are trying to develop niche segments in the market. Common repayment sources are direct deposit and debit card-linked repayment, eased by the growth of a cashless society. All of these remain subdued by a cautious borrowing culture, low interest rates for borrowers, strict credit underwriting policies, a high savings ratio, and a lack of credit contenders. Meanwhile, growth drivers are increasing digitization, further expansion of the BNPL (Buy Now, Pay Later) ecosystem, and an increase from tourism spending. All this results in a highly regulated and trust-based consumer credit market that shows low to mid single-digit annual growth rates.
