Market Overview

Japan's IT outsourcing industry is a growing marketplace where businesses outsource their IT functions so they can focus on their core business activities and reduce cost. The major drivers of this market are cloud computing, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence, with the industry being characterized by innovation and consolidation through mergers and acquisitions. The definition of IT outsourcing can include functions that are done outside of the company, such as application development and IT administration, but it does not include functions not related to IT, such as web hosting or CRM (customer relationship management). The Japanese IT services outsourcing market continues to expand as an increasing number of organizations are now leveraging outsourced services for their digital transformation, improving their operational efficiencies and bridging talent shortages. The increasing age and decrease in the size of Japan's working population mean an ever-increasing reliance on outsourcing services to complete its workforce as an essential part of the Government of Japan's strategy for the development of its economy, to improve operations in industries such as banking, retailing, and manufacturing. Cybersecurity and enhancing cybersecurity continue to be a significant focus of both the Business and Government of Japan, as evidenced by the Cybersecurity Basic Act and the Act on the Protection of Personal Information (APPI) passed by the Government of Japan.
