In January 2026, Japan experienced a subtle decline in its service sector index, registering at 47.6, slightly down from the adjusted figure of 47.7 recorded in the prior month. This result fell below market predictions of 49.1, marking the lowest point since August. While consumer sentiment in the service industry weakened, there were signs of modest improvement within the retail sector. On the other hand, the corporate trend index saw an increase, driven predominantly by progress in the non-manufacturing areas, despite worsening employment conditions. Furthermore, the economic outlook index showed a notable rise, reaching 50.1 from a revised 45.5 in December, indicating optimism for an economic rebound, although there remain ongoing concerns regarding the effects of inflationary pressures.
