Rapidly growing healthcare institutions and the presence of one of the largest automotive industries are driving the growth of the Japan eye tracking market demand during the forecast period.

Japan Eye Tracking Market size was valued at USD 94.0 million in 2023, and is predicted to reach USD 426.3 million by 2030, at a CAGR of 22.9% from 2024 to 2030, according to new research by Next Move Strategy Consulting.

Japanese healthcare institutions and businesses are adopting eye-tracking technology for diverse applications, such as diagnostic studies of eye movements and cognitive processes. In April 2022, Otsuka Pharmaceutical and Ai-Brain Science initiated an exclusive sales partnership in Japan to introduce AiBS-01, an innovative cognitive function testing application based on eye movement analysis.

Pending regulatory approval, AiBS-01 aims to be Japan's pioneering dementia diagnosis tool. Developed by Ai-Brain Science, this application can be seamlessly installed on tablets like iPads, representing a significant leap forward in using eye-tracking technology for assessing cognitive health.

Moreover, Japanese automotive manufacturers are increasingly incorporating eye-tracking technology into vehicles, focusing primarily on driver monitoring systems to enhance road safety and prevent accidents.

These systems track drivers' eye movements and alertness, playing a crucial role in ensuring driver safety. The rising adoption of eye-tracking solutions by Japanese automakers is significantly advancing the Japan eye tracking market, positioning it as a vital component of modern automotive technology. 

For instance, in December 2022, Smart Eye, a developer of Driver Monitoring System (DMS) software, announced 12 design wins with a new Japanese client. These wins relate to driver monitoring systems that enhance automotive safety by tracking driver attentiveness and ensuring their well-being. This success highlights Smart Eye's growing influence and the increasing adoption of its advanced DMS technology in Japan's automotive sector.

However, the proliferation of alternative technologies, including gesture recognition, unimodal methods, and multimodal activity recognition, emerges as a significant restraint on the growth of the eye tracking market. Gesture recognition, for instance, employs mathematical algorithms to interpret human gestures, enabling device control through simple movements.

This technology is particularly adept at recognizing emotions conveyed through facial expressions, hand gestures, and body language. In sectors such as consumer electronics and gaming, where the ability to predict user behavior is paramount, these alternative technologies offer valuable insights that extend beyond the capabilities of traditional eye tracking. Consequently, the availability and adoption of such alternatives hinder the market's growth potential by providing competitive solutions that cater to diverse user needs and preferences.

On the other hand, the swift integration of eye-tracking technology across various sectors, including augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), lie-detection systems, and cognitive testing, is poised to unlock significant opportunities within the eye tracking market. This technology plays a crucial role in enhancing image clarity and reducing eye strain in AR and VR applications, thereby elevating user engagement and comfort levels. 

This technology benefits from natural stimuli and controlled data collection, making it a dynamic field driven by startups and investments from tech giants such as Apple, Google, Facebook, and Samsung. For instance, in March 2022, Mojo Vision announced a new advanced prototype of its AR smart contact lens Mojo Lens.

The prototype includes various new hardware features and advanced technologies such as advanced display, communications, eye tracking technology, and a power system embedded into the lens. It allows users to access timely information quickly and discreetly without forcing them to look down at a screen.
