However, not all businesses can easily enter and stand firm in this market. So what are the opportunities, challenges and suitable strategies for Vietnamese businesses to succeed in Japan? SEFA Media will help you have a comprehensive view and provide optimal solutions to gradually affirm your brand in the land of cherry blossoms.
Why is the Japanese market an attractive destination for Vietnamese businesses?
Japan is the world’s third largest economy and one of the countries with strong and stable consumption. Japanese people are famous for their brand loyalty and consumption trends based on quality and reputation. This is a great opportunity for Vietnamese businesses if their products meet the strict criteria here. In addition, participating in trade agreements such as CPTPP helps Vietnamese businesses benefit from tax reductions and trade barriers when exporting to Japan.

In addition, Japan has a special interest in products from Vietnam, especially in the fields of agricultural products, food, consumer goods and technology. This creates great opportunities for Vietnamese businesses to reach potential customers and expand market share in this country.
Challenges of entering the Japanese market
Despite many opportunities, conquering the Japanese market is not easy. Vietnamese enterprises will have to face some major challenges such as:
Strict quality standards
The Japanese are very strict in evaluating products. They not only care about quality but also demand perfection in every small detail such as packaging, origin, production process, safety and environmental friendliness. If a business does not ensure consistent quality, it will be difficult to survive in the long term.
Language and business culture barriers
Japanese people value meticulousness and detail in communication as well as working methods. They like to cooperate with partners who are professional and understand Japanese business culture. This requires Vietnamese businesses to prepare carefully from the approach, relationship building to marketing strategies suitable for Japanese consumer psychology.

Fierce competition
The Japanese market has the presence of many strong domestic brands and large international corporations. To gain market share, Vietnamese enterprises must have a clear strategy, unique products and build trust from consumers.
