Market Trends by Service
With continued imbalance between supply and demand for tech talents, we believe employers are increasingly motivated to invest in educating/training IT professionals. Furthermore, a rising demand for new skillsets associated with the increasing use of generative AI and data analytics in business is propelling the demand for the IT professional training services. For these reasons, the market is expected to stay on the uptrend.
Going forward, the IT professional (IT engineer) temporary staffing service market is expected to grow further with demand expansion across industries stemming from the shortage of IT professionals, while the rise in unit price due to supply-demand imbalances and base-pay increase in labor market underpins the market size. On the other hand, there is a concern that as competition for available tech talent intensifies, temporary staffing services also face predicaments in finding high-caliber candidates.
Additionally, the IT professional recruitment service market is also projected to expand for the foreseeable future. Shortage of IT professionals such as IT engineers and an increase of IT investments in many industries and companies, including IT-related companies such as telecoms and Siers, stemming from the trend of digital transformation or digitization, it is assumed that the demand for IT professionals remain high.
Future Outlook
The IT professional recruitment and training services market is projected to grow by 8.2% on a year-over-year basis to 1,272.0 billion yen for FY2023. Stemming from the promotion of digital transformation, which worsens IT professional shortage, propels employer needs to train or reskill employees at IT/digital jobs, increase needs to outsource recruiting of IT professionals or utilize human resources, the market is expected to expand further.
In addition, going forward, expansion in the use of new digital technologies and tools like generative AI is expected to give rise to the demand for new skills, training related to the new skills, as well as for the recruiting and utilization of talents, which will work in favor for the market.
