The results showed that the United States was the most popular country for sales at about 30%, and that about 90% would be positive about expanding overseas if comprehensive support for sales channel development and trade was provided.<\/p>\n<p>First, the top country where companies want to sell their products was the United States (29.41 TP3T), followed by Taiwan (16.51 TP3T) and China (10.11 TP3T). On the other hand, when Southeast Asian countries such as Thailand (7.31 TP3T) and Vietnam (2.81 TP3T) are combined, the total reaches 15.71 TP3T, highlighting the significant presence of these countries in Asia. The most common reasons for selecting a sales destination were &quot;market growth potential&quot; and &quot;reputation of Japanese product quality,&quot; both tied for first place at 51.41 TP3T. Regarding sales images, 80.91 TP3T responded that they had &quot;concrete&quot; or &quot;somewhat&quot; images. Currently, 70.61 TP3T are conducting overseas sales on a regular basis, while companies that have not yet started or have suspended overseas sales cited &quot;logistics arrangements,&quot; &quot;contacting business partners,&quot; and &quot;compliance with legal regulations&quot; as reasons for not taking the plunge, each at 32.31 TP3T. 93.81 TP3T responded positively to the idea of comprehensive outsourcing support covering everything from market development to delivery, with &quot;document creation and customs clearance procedures&quot; (56.71 TP3T) being the most anticipated function. Regarding expectations for overseas sales, &quot;diversification of risk due to the shrinking domestic market&quot; (51.41 TP3T) outnumbered &quot;expansion of sales and profits&quot; (47.71 TP3T).<\/p>\n<p>This survey revealed that while Japanese companies have a high level of willingness to sell overseas, the complexity of procedures and securing sales channels involved in overseas expansion, such as logistics arrangements, compliance with legal regulations, and building relationships with business partners, are acting as barriers to entry. Amidst growing awareness of the need for risk diversification in anticipation of a shrinking domestic market, developing services that comprehensively support everything from sales channel development to practical operations will be key to bridging the gap between willingness and action.<\/p>\n<p>Download this survey<a href=\"https:\/\/boueki.standage.co.jp\/download\/wp_sell_country_ranking\/\">Here<\/a>from.<\/p>\n<h2><b>\u25a0Starting your overseas expansion from scratch | Trade agency service &quot;Omakase Trade&quot;<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-7399\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.standage.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/33629-133-cdfdbc6e787b8178a0d187c60453c1df-1490x765-1-1024x526.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"385\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.standage.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/33629-133-cdfdbc6e787b8178a0d187c60453c1df-1490x765-1-1024x526.webp 1024w, https:\/\/wp.standage.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/33629-133-cdfdbc6e787b8178a0d187c60453c1df-1490x765-1-300x154.webp 300w, https:\/\/wp.standage.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/33629-133-cdfdbc6e787b8178a0d187c60453c1df-1490x765-1-768x394.webp 768w, https:\/\/wp.standage.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/33629-133-cdfdbc6e787b8178a0d187c60453c1df-1490x765-1-18x9.webp 18w, https:\/\/wp.standage.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/33629-133-cdfdbc6e787b8178a0d187c60453c1df-1490x765-1.webp 1490w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Omakase Trading will support you with all of these tasks necessary for expanding overseas.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We cover all your trade business problems.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the yen now at an unprecedented low, expanding into overseas markets is a great opportunity for all businesses.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Omakase Trading removes such barriers to overseas expansion and accelerates our customers&#039; business.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We provide one-stop support for your overseas expansion, from overseas market research, to participating in exhibitions, acting as a sales agent, and developing sales channels.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For more details, please visit: https:\/\/boueki.standage.co.jp\/digitrad\/<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>\u25a0Company Profile<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Company Name: STANDAGE Co., Ltd.<br \/>\n\u30fbEstablished: March 7, 2017<br \/>\nRepresentative: Akira Adachi, President and CEO<br \/>\n\u2022 Address: Sumitomo Fudosan Landmark Plaza 3F, 1-6-7 Shibakoen, Minato-ku, Tokyo 105-0011, Japan<br \/>\nBusiness Description: Development and provision of a digital trade platform based on blockchain and AI technology.<br \/>\n\u30fbURL: https:\/\/standage.co.jp\/<\/p>\n<h2><strong>\u25a0Contact information regarding this matter<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>STANDAGE Co., Ltd.
