Japan 3rd Platform Forecast by Vertical Segment and Company Size, 2025-2029

This IDC study classifies Japan industries into 21 industry sectors, including 17 business categories and four non-business categories - central government, local governments, education, and consumers - and reports the actual (2024) and forecast (2025-2029) 3rd Platform spending in each sector. This study also analyzes the market across five company sizes and provides forecast data for the 3rd Platform spending by industry and company size.Ko Shikita, research manager of Verticals and Cross Technologies at IDC Japan, says that enterprise measures to minimize the impact of U.S. trade tariffs will provide an opportunity for IT suppliers to expand opportunities to provide various solutions that focus on strengthening supply chain resilience. He says, "IT suppliers should not simply act as 'system implementation support providers' for these solutions but rather provide them in a position to support their customers' decision-making as 'companions to business transformation.' This will broaden the range of proposals they can make in areas such as supply chain management and risk management, and they can expect to expand their business in the medium to long term as this is a key area of IT/digital spending."This is the English translation of the Japanese document IDC #JPJ52154725.
