Large market needs exist for studios that will be sustained over a long
period
With declining birth rates and an aging society, the population problem in Japan is an
issue that needs to be considered. In terms of family categories, singles consisted of
14,457 thousand in 2005, which comprised 29.5% share of the market. It is
anticipated that this will increase to 15,169 thousand by 2010 and comprise over
30.3% of the market share. Furthermore, an estimate for 2025 shows the number of
households will reach approximately 17,159 thousand, with 34.6% of the market
share, a rapid increase in this period. This indicates that the household makeup in
Japan will be moving toward the formation of a gigantic single person household base
very rapidly.
The market needs for studios provided by us is large and will be sustained over a long
period in the future, as indicated by this data on future estimates.
