Rakuten TV mulls wider European expansion
09 November 2017 @ 12:42
Video-on-demand service Rakuten TV is mulling plans to expand its footprint across more European countries.
Speaking exclusively to Digital TV Europe, Rakuten TV CEO Jacinto Roca said “we have the intention to launch but we don’t have concrete plans yet”.
Roca said that heading into next year, the firm may consider increasing its number of territories with a view to expanding into the Nordics and Eastern Europe.
“The idea is to cover Europe as a whole. I think that will be the main priority,” said Roca.
“I think that to launch in these countries we may consider M&A opportunities as well.”
Currently Rakuten TV is live in 12 European countries, including its home and largest market of Spain, and other major European countries like the UK, Germany, Spain, France and Italy.

Chinese customers shelled out more than JPY 1 trillion on Japanese merchandise during 2016 via cross-border e-commerce platforms, and Tokyo-based marketing research company Fuji Keizai estimates that the number is projected to more than double in 2019 to JPY 2.1 trillion.
One of the fortunate beneficiaries of this phenomenon is Japan’s largest online shopping mall Rakuten Ichiba. Their B2B2C e-commerce platform global and internet services company Rakuten—which also operates the popular cross-border site known as Rakuten Global Market—saw sales triple in 2017 compared to the same period in 2016.
The transaction amount in Rakuten Ichiba’s flagship stores hosted by JD.com and Netease Kaola has grown by nearly 20-30 times compared to 2016. Rakuten Ichiba has been the primary platform for cross-border sales and accounted for more than half of all international sales transacted through these various e-commerce platforms.

Visitors to what used to be Buy.com will see a few changes on the front page this week—including a pronunciation guide for its new name.
The site is now branded "Rakuten," after Japan's largest e-commerce firm, a massive online conglomerate that dominates even U.S. giants like Amazon at home. Rakuten (the site suggests it is read "rack"—"ah"—"ten") bought Buy.com in 2010 for $250 million as part of a global spending spree, and has been gradually rebuilding it since.
The old Buy.com, which mainly sold directly to customers, has been swallowed whole. It is now one of thousands of stores in a giant online shopping mall, along with those run by firms like Petco and wine.com. The online mall, "Rakuten Shopping," is an attempt to recreate the brand's success in Japan, where it is a household name and about 60 percent of the population are members.

News agencies Interfax and Tass report that Viber CEO Djamel Agaoua claims company officials are now studying Russian language and cryptocurrency-related laws, with a view to launching in the country before mid 2019.
Tass quotes Agaoua as saying, “Rakuten Coin will be tradeable on Viber. It will be available as part of the Viber Wallet service, and Russians will be able to exchange [the token] for rubles, United States dollars or euros.”
However, per Interfax, Agaoua stated that Rakuten Coin would not be transferrable to banks in the country, and could not be “cashed out” through existing Russian financial institutions – although exchange-related matters would “depend on Russian laws,” he said.
The chat app enjoys enormous popularity in Russia and the CIS, and some 45 million Russians use it at least once a month.
