Businesses

Consumer Industry

Retail, healthcare and logistics — the businesses closest to everyday life.

Consumer Industry is where Yamato Bussan meets households. We hold stakes in convenience-store and supermarket chains across Asia, distribute pharmaceuticals and medical devices, and run a logistics network that fulfills both.

It is a fitting modern home for a company that began in 1881 selling raw silk and tea to consumers an ocean away.

Omnichannel and New Consumer Experiences

In response to consumer purchasing behaviors dramatically altered by digitalization, we provide seamless shopping experiences that fuse physical stores with e-commerce. Furthermore, by incubating D2C (Direct to Consumer) brands and deploying personalized marketing solutions powered by data analytics, we are establishing a competitive advantage in the consumer goods market.

Future Initiatives

  • Global rollout of next-generation unmanned store systems.
  • Supply chain optimization and inventory loss minimization using retail AI.
