The Japan Media Landscape Report provides an overview of the television and telecommunications market in relation to sports broadcasting in Japan today, with top-level data and detailed forecasts of key indicators up to 2027. The report analyses the television, SVOD, mobile handset and residential fixed-line broadband sectors, as well as a review of major sports media rights.

Key Highlights

  • SPOTV NOW, the sports streaming platform owned by South Korean company Eclat Media Group, acquired the English Premier League rights in Japan in a groundbreaking deal for the 2022-23 to 2024-25 cycle
  • The growth in SVOD subscriptions in the country during the 2022-2027 forecast period will be supported by the continued rise in household penetration of fixed broadband services, particularly fiber-optic (FTTH/B) services, and the subsequent consumer shift from traditional pay-TV services to various streaming platforms
  • 4G subscriptions accounted for an estimated 77.5% share of total mobile subscriptions in 2022, but will decline drastically to 23.0% by the end of 2027, due to subscriber migration to 5G networks

Scope

  • Pay-TV operators had 20.7 million subscribers in 2022. Total pay-TV subscriptions will fall by approximately 84,000 over the forecast period, reaching 20.6 million in 2027
  • Japan had an estimated 53.6 million subscription video-on-demand (SVOD) accounts at the end of 2022, an increase of 5.9 million or 12.4% from 2021
  • Smartphone subscription penetration of population reached 100.4% in 2022 and will increase to 110.4% over the forecast period, driven by operators offering discounts on smartphones along with the availability of installment options
  • Fixed broadband penetration of households will increase from an estimated 70.4% in 2022 to 73.8% by the end of 2027, owing to growth in FTTH lines
