Abstract

This IDC study classifies the Japan industries into a total of 21 industry segments, with 17 enterprise categories and four nonenterprise categories consisting of central government, local government, education, and consumer, and reports the actual (2020) and forecast (2021 to 2025) 3rd Platform spending in each category. The study also analyzes the market across five company sizes and provides forecast data for the 3rd Platform spending by industry and company size. The market forecast used in this study takes into account the impact of the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).

Ko Shikita, research manager of IDC Japan's IT Spending Group, says, "In order to achieve long-term business growth, IT suppliers should look for business opportunities beyond traditional IT products and services, such as in the area of operational technology (OT), and consider business expansion measures, including alliances with solution vendors specializing in various industries that have strengths in these areas, as well as mergers and acquisitions (M&A).
