The 2025 Cliff is a term announced by the Ministry of Economy,
Trade and Industry in its "DX Report - Overcoming the 2025
Cliff in IT Systems and Full-Scale Deployment of DX" that
refers to the anticipated fall behind in international
competition and economic stagnation that would occur if
existing systems that have become complex, outdated, and black
boxes remain. It is predicted that as of 2025, legacy systems
that have been in operation for more than 20 years will
account for 60% of the total. If these systems are not updated
by 2025, it is estimated that economic losses of up to 12
trillion yen will occur between 2025 and 2030.
