JAPAN ALTERNATIVE DATA MARKET TRENDS:

Growing Adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Big Data Analytics

The increasing use of big data analytics and AI is making a huge impact on the Japan alternative data market outlook by making it possible for firms to derive meaningful insights from massive, unstructured data sets. As firms become more selective in embracing AI technologies, they are utilizing these technologies to process and analyze huge quantities of alternative data like satellite imagery, social media posts, and transactional data. This is useful to reveal patterns, trends, and correlations that could not be detected easily through conventional data analysis. In Japan, sectors such as finance, retail, and healthcare are leading the charge in applying AI and big data analytics. For example, banks are applying machine learning (ML) algorithms to examine alternative data for improved predictive modeling, improved investment choices, and risk management. Retailers are leveraging AI to interpret customer behavior on social media and transactional data, optimize stock, and tailor marketing campaigns. Additionally, Japan's sophisticated technology infrastructure and robust focus on digital transformation create a perfect setting for the development of AI-based analytics. The synergy of AI's capacity for processing intricate data and the growing amount of alternative data produced every day enables companies to base their decisions on facts, enhance operational effectiveness, and gain competitive advantage. A prime example is the collaboration of Qraft Technologies with FSITC to introduce the First Financial Quantitative Japan Fund in September 2024. This AI fund, addressing undervalued shares and sound risk management, leverages the potential in the Japanese market, illustrating the real-world application of AI solutions.

Expanding E-Commerce and Digital Transactions

The expansion of e-commerce and digital transactions is a major factor strengthening the Japan alternative data market growth, as these sectors generate vast amounts of valuable customers and transactional data. With the rise of online shopping and digital payments, businesses are collecting data on customer behavior, purchasing patterns, and payment preferences. This data, often unstructured and complex, serves as an alternative data source that companies can analyze to gain insights into market trends and customer sentiment. In Japan, e-commerce giants and digital platforms are increasingly utilizing alternative data like web scraping, transaction records, and user activity data, to understand shifts in customer demand and improve operational strategies. Retailers use this data to optimize pricing strategies, personalize product recommendations, and enhance customer experience. According to data published by the IMARC Group, the Japan e-commerce market is expected to reach USD 692.8 billion by 2033, with a growth rate (CAGR) of 11.02% during 2025-2033. This growth further fuels the demand for data-driven insights. Moreover, financial institutions are capitalizing on digital transaction data to assess credit risk, detect fraud, and refine underwriting processes. The growing popularity of digital wallets, mobile payments, and cryptocurrency transactions also contributes to the increasing volume of alternative data available for analysis. As more customers shift to online platforms for shopping and transactions, the need for advanced data analytics tools to interpret this data continues to rise, driving the alternative data market in Japan.
