OGAWA leads in innovation and is a market leader. OGAWA continuously innovates its products to improve its competitive advantage. 

Throughout its 26 years, OGAWA has certainly faced numerous challenges and reforms. The company's recent challenge is the digital revolution triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic which changed consumer behavior. Certain existing brand structures and store models are no longer suitable for the current consumer needs, and it drove OGAWA to develop a clear competitive strategy and make breakthroughs and innovations in the transformation of ideas and concepts. 

OGAWA also follows the trend of the times with innovative massage technology research and development. Widely recognized since its launch, OGAWA Master Drive AI 2.0 is developing breakthroughs in technology by bringing AI to life.

In addition, OGAWA and Universiti Malaya have joined hands to establish a research center in the hope to use this research project to gain a deeper understanding of the benefits of massages on human health, thus further improving the development of OGAWA's products. The study showed that its massage chair Master Drive AI 2.0 helped improve blood circulation by up to 81.32% as well as sleep quality and sleep efficiency by up to 88.73%.

In the future, OGAWA will persist in cultivating the health industry, integrating intelligent technology into healthy living, and improving its competitive advantage in both domestic and foreign markets.
