Japan has been one of the leading markets for kitchen appliances in the world. The country has been offering the global market, with several innovations for many years. The Japanese kitchen appliances market is highly driven by product innovation. A company's ability to offer technologically advanced products has been proven to be one of the major factors which influence its market share in the country. Japanese people frequently upgrade their kitchens, including the appliances time to time to enjoy the latest features that are being introduced. The renovation or the replacement of an existing property or building, which is very common in Japan owing to the limited free and new open spaces available, is also driving the market growth. Owing to the space-saving feature, they offer built-in appliances that are more popular in the country. As the majority of Japanese households are smaller in size, which ultimately impacts the size of the kitchen, these built-in large kitchen appliances, including refrigerators and dishwashers, are gaining more traction in the country.

Japan efficiently avoided the situation of public health crises compared to other developed nations such as the United States, Germany, Italy, France, the United Kingdom, etc., even though the country has not gone into compulsory lockdown. However, the global outbreak caused disruptions in trade with other countries which largely affected the import-exports scenario. The trade disruptions resulted in a stressed economic situation in the country which made customers slow down their spending in 2020. Japan has one of the most developed e-commerce markets worldwide and is ranked second in the Asia-Pacific region preceded by China. During the year 2020, the market also registered sustainable growth over the study period, supported by high mobile and internet penetration rates. The end of the COVID-19 pandemic situation is expected to bring this industry significantly higher consumer traffic, most notably through the online channels, and the manufacturers will need to design their production plans and distribution networks in line with this changing business environment.
