Software industry in Japan - statistics and facts
Japan鈥檚 economy and the daily lives of its citizens are increasingly influenced by technological developments that are inextricably linked to software products and services: The increasing adoption of cloud services enables companies to cut costs and react flexibly to changing market conditions, the growing interconnectedness of devices and appliances makes it necessary for users to protect themselves against cybercrime, and the boom in generative artificial intelligence (AI) and ongoing digital transformation (DX) initiatives at companies and institutions change the way people work and communicate. Consequently, the value of the Japanese software market, which encompasses application development and deployment, applications, and system infrastructure software, is expected to grow from about 4.7 trillion Japanese yen in 2023 to more than 7.3 trillion yen by 2028.
