COVID-19's impact on Japan's e-Commerce payment market:

As the government of Japan has declared a state of emergency due to the pandemic COVID-19, the online payment market in Japan was widely accepted in a rapid accelerated motion since the first half of 2020. Furthermore, with social distancing rules in Japan and the closure of many brick-and-mortar stores, shoppers also embraced online channels even for day-to-day shopping.

As Japanese consumers embrace online shopping, the use of electronic payments is expected to rise further as consumers are moving aside from cash-based payments due to fear of getting infected and ease of making transactions
