The Japan personal computer market is headed for significant growth, expected to increase from US$ 7.25 billion in 2024 to US$ 13.44 billion in 2033. This trend depicts a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 7.11% from 2025 to 2033. Top-tier tablets with stylus support and keyboard detachability function as notebooks' replacements for everyday use scenarios. As mobile-first behaviors become mainstream, PC manufacturers are under pressure to emphasize distinctive capabilities like full-scale productivity, deep software compatibility, and gaming capability.
Japan's big businesses, most notably in manufacturing, finance, and technology industries, upgrade PC fleets every couple of years to have productivity and security standards. As hybrid work becomes permanent, businesses prefer secure, standardized notebooks with endpoint protection and cloud connectivity more and more. Device-as-a-service (DaaS) and managed IT services are also on the rise as companies shift focus to lifecycle management. This maintains level demand regardless of overall market saturation.
