DOORM: Xiao Huang, Japanese overseas enterprises were mainly concentrated in North America, Europe, and Asia. Specifically, 50% of the enterprises were in North America, 20% in Europe, and 12% in Asia. North America and Europe have always been excellent consumer and investment markets. These regions are economically developed, have mature markets, and relatively well-established legal frameworks, providing a stable operating environment and vast market opportunities for businesses.
