Japan Telecommunications Services Forecast, 2024-2028

This research report provides market forecasts and outlook for the Japan telecommunications services market from 2024 to 2028. In 2023, the Japan telecommunications services market saw sales growth in the enterprise WAN services market as employees returned to the office following the transition to Category 5 status of the COVID-19 pandemic, and many companies increased the connection speed to their bases, including guaranteed bandwidth lines. Thus, while the demand for closed networks remains strong, managed internet VPNs are also maintaining a high growth rate, driven by the penetration of frameworks, such as zero trust and SASE. Additionally, in the mobile communications service market, IoT demand is expanding further. Going forward, increases in the volume of data transmitted and growing efforts by companies to utilize data will create the demand for communication services, leading to continued growth in the market."In the enterprise WAN service market, there is strong demand for closed networks from companies that want stable communication quality, while companies that are moving toward zero trust are actively moving toward using the internet. Telecommunications carriers and systems integrators should expand their services fast so they can use enterprise demand for integrated network and security services as a growth driver for their enterprise business. In addition, in the IoT field, in preparation for the intensifying competition brought about by the maturation of 5G networks, companies should organize their strengths and capabilities and reposition themselves in the market," says Mizukami Takahiro, senior market analyst, Infrastructure and Devices, IDC Japan.This is the English translation of the Japanese document IDC #JPJ50702624.
