Japan WAN Services Market Shares, 2024: Innovating for Future Growth Beyond Market Maturity

This IDC study provides vendor shares for the Japan WAN services market in 2024. We estimate the market share by type of closed line.“Companies are being forced to respond to a variety of requirements, such as employees returning to the office, increased traffic due to expanded use of the cloud and Internet of Things (IoT), and the introduction of new access lines. In order to respond to the increase in traffic while keeping costs down, an increasing number of companies are introducing new security measures and starting to use the Internet. To support companies in their efforts to rebuild their WANs, telecommunications carriers and systems integration (SI) providers should provide new integrated services that utilize the cloud and software-defined networks (SDNs) to enable companies to build WANs by selecting from a wide range of functions that they need, and to simplify the operation of complex WANs,” says Yoko Ono, research manager, Infrastructure and Devices, IDC Japan.This is the English translation of the Japanese document IDC #JPJ52161725.
