Japan Enterprise Networks Forecast, 2025-2029

This IDC study provides market forecasts and prospects for the Japan enterprise network equipment market, which consists of enterprise Ethernet switches, enterprise routers, and enterprise wireless LAN devices, for the years 2025-2029, in addition to the actual results for 2024. Although there were concerns about a backlash from the high demand up to the previous year, 2024 maintained positive growth. From 2025 onward, it is predicted that a moderate but stable growth trend will continue, with new factors such as investment in Ethernet switches in AI datacenters."For Japan network equipment vendors targeting Japan companies, there is no doubt that the NEXT GIGA, which is the second phase of the GIGA School Initiative, represents a significant business opportunity. There are still many unclear aspects to NEXT GIGA, and as it is expected to be a longer-term project than the first phase, the key to success in the NEXT GIGA business will be to identify one's own business opportunities, select appropriate target customers, and make accurate proposals. The first step is to collect as many challenges as possible from the network environment introduced in the first phase, and carefully present solutions using our own solutions," says Kenichi Kusano, senior research director at IDC JapanThis is the English translation of the Japanese document IDC #JPJ52160025.
