IBJ Monthly Matchmaking Sessions Exceed 100,000 for the First Time

IBJ, the leading marriage agency in Japan by member and marriage count, announced that monthly matchmaking sessions reached a record 102,013 in May 2026, a 14.5% increase year-on-year. The company has seen a significant rise in members in their 20s, as young people increasingly seek efficient ways to find partners. The expansion of the member base, bolstered by the integration of major agencies like O-net and Partner Agent, has further increased matching opportunities. With data showing that successful couples have 2.7 times more matchmaking sessions than those who do not marry, IBJ plans to continue combining IT-driven matching with personalized support to further increase marriage rates.
