DIGITAL FOOTPRINT

Web traffic, app reach and release cadence

How the Tokyo companies on this page show up online: the sites people visit, the apps they install, and how often those apps ship.

Busiest websites

29 of the 297 companies on this page carry a measured traffic record (9.8%); these are the largest of those, by monthly visits. The median among them is 274,048 visits.

Most-installed apps

30 of these companies (10.1%) publish at least one Android app — 75 apps in all, carrying 244.1M installs between them.

Installs are lifetime totals to date at the June 2026 store reading — a measure of reach, not of people using an app today.

App reach by segment

The busiest app inside each of this page’s own segments, with the quarterly release trend behind it (2023Q1–2025Q4).

A company can carry several segment tags, so these rows overlap and should not be added together. Trend lines are zero-based and share one quarter grid, so a flat line is a quiet segment, not a missing one.

Release cadence by quarter

New apps published, beside apps whose most recent update landed in that quarter — the second bar is how much of the shelf is still being maintained.

2022Q4: 22022Q4: 12022Q42023Q1: 22023Q1: 12023Q12023Q3: 22023Q3: 02023Q32023Q4: 12023Q4: 02023Q42024Q1: 22024Q1: 02024Q12024Q3: 12024Q3: 32024Q32025Q2: 12025Q2: 62025Q22025Q3: 42025Q3: 72025Q32025Q4: 12025Q4: 72025Q42026Q1: 12026Q1: 192026Q1

Darker bars are new releases, lighter bars apps updated. 51 of 75 apps carry a release date. The series ends at 2026Q1, the last quarter that closed before the June 2026 reading.

UNDERSTAND THE LANDSCAPE

Consumer Goods in Tokyo: key questions

Clear definitions for making better comparisons.

What does this landscape measure?

It measures the tracked company ecosystem, recorded funding, hiring and other available evidence. It is not a market-size estimate.

Can segment counts be added together?

No. A company can belong to several segments, so segment counts and funding can overlap.

What does a missing figure mean?

A dash or unavailable panel means the current reviewed source snapshot does not support that figure.
