The security market in Japan is projected to reach 1.0455 trillion yen in 2024. There are primarily two factors contributing to the growth of the security market. The first is the increase in access to corporate systems via the internet due to the widespread adoption of remote work, which has expanded the endpoint security and identity management markets. The second is the growth of the vulnerability management market as a result of numerous reports of large-scale security incidents, such as ransomware attacks against businesses and organizations. In the domestic security market, three industry sectors—retail, manufacturing, and finance—are particularly driving the expansion of market size. Looking ahead, it is anticipated that the use of AI in cybersecurity measures will continue to grow, with the domestic security market expected to experience an average annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.2% from 2022 to 2027, reaching a market size of 1.2488 trillion yen by 2027. *1 Sources: *1…IDC Are you considering starting a business in Tokyo?

Digitalization efforts are expanding not only among large corporations but also within small and medium-sized enterprises, leading to an accelerated increase in the volume of data accumulated across Japan. The market size (sales revenue) of data center services in Japan was 2.0938 trillion yen in 2022 and is projected to reach 4.1862 trillion yen by 2027. *1 Moreover, alongside the growth in data volume, there is a continuing trend for the increased demand for hyperscale data centers, particularly for cloud services, in the suburbs of Tokyo and Osaka. The investment scale for the establishment and expansion of domestic operators' data centers is expected to exceed 500 billion yen in 2024. Furthermore, it is predicted that investments exceeding 500 billion yen will continue annually from 2024 to 2027.*2 At the same time, the scale of data analysis-related human resources in Japan is also growing. In fiscal year 2023, the number of data analysis-related professionals (including analytical consultants, data scientists, analytical architects, and project managers) is expected to be 123,400, and it is projected to reach 176,300 by FY2025. It is believed that the development of data analysis talent aimed at promoting data-driven management will continue in the future. *3 Sources: *1…Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications *2…IDC *3…Yano Research Institute Are you considering starting a business in Tokyo?

The domestic big data analytics market in Japan is expected to reach 2.0749 trillion yen in 2024. From 2024 onwards, particularly with the expansion of generative AI and predictive AI utilization, an increase in data demand is anticipated. Consequently, significant growth is expected in markets such as AI software platforms that provide AI foundational models, content analysis markets predicted to apply generative AI, and search system markets. Additionally, high growth is also forecasted for data warehouses and unstructured data stores for AI training data. Taking this background into account, an average annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2022 to 2027 is expected to grow at 14.3%, reaching 3.0541 trillion yen by 2027. As many companies continue to promote digital transformation (DX) and the utilization of AI software, analytics tools are positioned as a highly compatible and essential foundation, and steady growth is expected to continue. *1 Sources: *1…IDC Are you considering starting a business in Tokyo?

The size of the quantum computer market in Japan (based on sales of service providers) is expected to reach 294 billion yen by fiscal year 2030, as some business sectors, such as chemistry and finance, begin to move toward full-scale operation, and quantum computers will begin to be used in the development of vehicle batteries for autonomous driving and in the medical field, gradually leading to the emergence of innovative treatment methods, including preventive and preemptive medicine, and other initiatives with a large social impact.*1 Japan is also making progress in developing its own quantum computers, with the RIKEN Institute starting operation of Japan's first domestically produced quantum computer (64 qubits) in March 2024. Government support is also expanding, with the quantum technology-related budget increasing year by year. In this way, Japan's quantum computing market is developing rapidly with the cooperation of both the public and private sectors, and is expected to continue to grow significantly in the future.
