Market trends for fiscal years 2023 and 2024 in the Fuji Chimera Research Institute report
According to a survey by Fuji Chimera Research Institute, the size of the domestic file transfer tool market in fiscal year 2023 is expected to be 8.75 billion yen, of which Saison Technology recorded an 80% market share, making it the market leader for the 21st consecutive year. The results indicate that the company continues to enjoy overwhelming support in this field. As a domestic vendor, sales are growing steadily, with adoption expanding in social infrastructure, real estate, and medical fields. HULFT is recognized as the de facto standard in Japan, continuing to hold a high market share.
In the package market in fiscal 2023, system modernization progressed as major domestic vendors withdrew from the mainframe business, and demand expanded with the construction of new open systems.
The future of file/ data integration
Saison Technology anticipates that, as companies continue to utilize generational AI from fiscal year 2024 onward, the importance of file transfer will become even more prominent, including the construction of RAG *1 (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) which collects proprietary data from on-premise environments and incorporates it into generational AI.
- 1 RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation): Also known as retrieval augmented generation, this technology combines new external information with large-scale language models (LLMs) to improve the search accuracy of generative AI.
