Japan Higher Education Industry Trends and Drivers:
The Higher Education Sector in Japan is experiencing disruption due to digital technology and the change of learning style. The application of high-tech such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, cloud computing to education infrastructure has changed how higher education services are provided and managed. There are a growing number of universities and colleges that implemented full-fledged student information management systems, learning management systems, and data analytics to increase administrative efficiency and to improve student outcome. The migration of on campus instruction to hybrid and online teaching platforms, propelled by the COVID-19 pandemic, is a permanent adaptation to our educational terrain, with institutions pouring resources into content collaboration solutions and expanding their digital capabilities designed to work in remote or flexible modes of delivery. On top of this, Japan’s higher education institutions are desperately seeking new funding sources in the face of Japan’s shrinking birthrate and an aging population, including by recruiting international students, offering lifelong education programs, and working with companies on workforce development projects.
The market is also boosted by the government support towards improving quality and competitiveness of higher education system in Japan. R&D investment, international business efforts, and k-12 and STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) education promotion activities are expanding demand for technology and service providers. The increasing focus on data security and compliance, especially on issues related to student privacy and protection of institution data, has elevated need for comprehensive cybersecurity solutions. The demand for campus management software which can have multiple functionalities like admission, attendance management, finance management, facilities management and so on, is also pushing the adoption of integrated ERP solutions. Along with growing synergy between public and private institutions, as well as community colleges expanding and specialized professional training organizations, the market will be enlarged, and innovative educational technology and services models are expected to emerge throughout the diverse landscape of Japan’s higher education.
