Japan’s on-device AI market is propelled by its aging population, prompting strong demand for intelligent healthcare devices and robotics. The integration of AI in consumer electronics, industrial automation, and automotive sectors is a major growth driver. However, legacy infrastructure and conservative data practices slow the pace of adoption, especially in SMEs. A growing trend is the miniaturization of AI chips, making them suitable for compact robotics and edge devices. Japan’s strong robotics industry presents a significant opportunity for AI chipmakers and software developers. Additionally, increased government focus on Society 5.0 and digital transformation provides a supportive policy landscape. Despite these advantages, the market is restrained by talent shortages and limited startup participation. Japan’s on-device AI market is expected to grow at a CAGR of around 19.6% by 2030.
