About the Report
The industrial drone market in Japan presents vast opportunities, particularly for foreign companies that can provide cutting-edge technology, regulatory expertise, and innovative applications across multiple sectors. The market’s projected growth, coupled with favourable government policies, makes it an attractive destination for EU companies seeking to expand in Asia.
While the market offers growth potential, foreign companies face challenges in adapting to Japan’s unique regulatory and business environment. Strong competition from domestic drone manufacturers also presents barriers to entry. However, partnering with local firms and government agencies can help mitigate these challenges and provide a foothold in the market.
The purpose of this report is to evaluate the current state of the B2B industrial drone market in Japan. It offers insights into market trends and developments, specifically targeting EU-based small- and mid-sized companies that manufacture industrial drones and related products. These companies may be looking to enter the Japanese market or strengthen their existing presence in Japan. The report also aims to inform other stakeholders in the value chain, including exporters.
