Launched in 2013 and becoming the first Unicorn company in Japan, Mercari Group is a Japan-based corporate group operating in both Japan and the US. Our mission is to create value in a global marketplace where everyone can buy and sell.

Mercari is the largest marketplace platform with over 20 million monthly users in Japan. Through the Mercari app, users can sell their used or unwanted items to those who need them just by taking a photo and entering in some basic information. We are constantly developing our app to provide an environment where anyone can conduct transactions easily, safely, and securely. As part of these efforts, we have invested in the latest technologies such as AI and machine learning, and have released various functions such as escrow payment, AI listing, and barcode listing.

The app currently operates in Japan and the US, with 5.6 million monthly users in the US (as of 2022.3).

We have also successfully launched new businesses such as our mobile payment service Merpay. Today, Mercari Group is made up of multiple subsidiary businesses, including those involved in logistics, B2C e-commerce, blockchain, and sports team management.

Mercari India located in Bengaluru will harness the infinite power of technology to create high-quality service where our people come together to build products that will further strengthen our leadership position in a global product market.
