About 20% of Japanese companies are working on DX = digital transformation, which transforms their business with digital technology, and the survey results show that DX is not as widespread as in the United States.

This survey was conducted by the Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association, which is made by electronics manufacturers, from August to September last year, targeting companies in Japan and the United States with more than 300 employees, from 334 Japanese companies and 300 American companies. I got an answer.



According to this, the percentage of companies that responded that they worked on DX = digital transformation and changed their business was 28.6% in the United States and 20.3% in Japan.



When asked about the purpose of DX, many Japanese companies cited work style reforms, while American companies tended to expand their businesses by developing new businesses.



In addition, 18.4% of companies in the United States answered that they did not know about DX, such as "I do not know" or "I do not know how to do it," while 50.6% in Japan, which is more than half, and DX is as widespread in Japan as in the United States. You can see that there is no such thing.



Shunsuke Baba, chairman of the JEITA committee in charge of the investigation, said, "There is a considerable difference between Japan and the United States in DX. If Japan does not start right now, the difference will widen in a short period of time." I will.
