Cloud Computing Market

Introduction of the Japan Cloud Computing Market Report

Cloud computing is the on-demand availability of various computer system resources such as computing power and data storage among the users. It helps in reducing the expenses related to hardware and software as well as setting the cost of on-site data centers. The Japan cloud computing market covers various deployment models such as public cloud, private cloud, and hybrid cloud.

Major Japan Cloud Computing Market Drivers

Japan is one of the leading cloud computing markets in the Asia-Pacific region as it is widely opting for solutions such as SaaS and IaaS. In addition to this, the increasing penetration of smartphones and the internet is further driving the market growth over the coming years. The country has a high rate of internet access, with more than 90% of the households having internet facility through mobile or PC. The increasing adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing, 5G, and other technologies is further growing the adoption of cloud technologies in the country, therefore surging the growth of the cloud market size.

 The Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications introduced the ICT strategy known as the “u-Japan” policy, which aims to use the ICT to upgrade the environment. Moreover, the government is also emphasizing on the value-creation oriented society where ICT penetrates the lives of individuals. In addition to this, the gaming companies in the country are migrating core applications onto the cloud to meet their specific requirements for reaching and serving the global audience. In 2021, DeNA, one of the gaming companies that operate mobile and online services such as games, e-commerce, and entertainment content distribution, announced to move its applications to the public cloud. The aim of this step is to leverage the public cloud-based machine learning to enhance the onboarding experience of the new gamers of its game “Gyakuten Othellonia”. The government of Japan has also introduced the “Society 5.0” to create a new social contract and economic model by incorporating the technological innovations of the fourth industrial revolution. Thus, this is further propelling the growth of the cloud market share in terms of revenue.

Restraints in the Japan Cloud Computing Market

One of the major factors that is hampering the growth of the cloud market in Japan includes the increased risk related to cyber-attacks in the country.

There has been an increase in the utilization of public clouds, particularly among financial institutions, which is another factor that is responsible for the cloud market growth. It is becoming important for the banks to use the public cloud for different functions such as big data analysis, risk modeling, fraud detection, customer-facing services, among other functions. Moreover, cloud-based solutions are increasingly opted in the retail sector to improve profitability. In 2017, FamilyMart, one of the Tokyo-based convenience store chains, began using cloud solutions to increase the productivity in its stores at the global level.  The company has around 24,000 stores across the globe, and it is using cloud-based productivity tools to facilitate collaboration culture and increase operational efficiency.
