As of 2006, the mobile commerce market in Japan has grown to over 5 trillion yen.  With the number of product items handled increasing each day, we can expect this trend to increase even more in the future.

The mobile hard goods business also continues to grow quite rapidly, thanks to the ease and convenience of using mobiles for shopping.  With the continued build out of transaction systems, we can expect that mobile businesses will become increasingly easy to operate in the coming years.
