Customer preferences in Japan have shifted towards convenience and efficiency, leading to increased demand for eServices. Consumers are increasingly relying on digital platforms for a wide range of services, such as online shopping, digital payments, and food delivery. This preference for convenience has been further accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, which has highlighted the importance of contactless transactions and remote access to services.

Additionally, Japan has a strong culture of technological innovation and a high level of digital literacy among its population, which has facilitated the adoption of eServices. Underlying macroeconomic factors have also played a role in the growth of the eServices market in Japan. The country has a strong and stable economy, with high levels of disposable income and a large middle class. This has created a favorable consumer market for eServices, as consumers have the financial means to access and pay for these services. Furthermore, Japan has a well-developed infrastructure, including a reliable internet network and advanced mobile technology, which has supported the growth of eServices. In conclusion, the eServices market in Japan has experienced significant growth due to changing customer preferences, technological advancements, local special circumstances, and underlying macroeconomic factors. The shift towards convenience and efficiency, the adoption of mobile technology and digital platforms, the urbanized population, the culture of technological innovation, the strong economy, and the well-developed infrastructure have all contributed to the development of the eServices market in Japan.
