Studist, Inc. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Satoshi Suzuki), a company that supports the realization of lean operations, has achieved the No. 1 domestic market share in the "Manual Creation/On-site Training Tools" category in terms of both volume (62.5%) and value (57.1%) for fiscal year 2024, according to the "IT Investment Trends by Industry/Future Outlook of the DX Market 2026 Edition: DX Investment" market research report published by Fuji Chimera Research Institute, Inc. on February 17, 2026. This achievement is centered on the business development of its main product, the manual creation and sharing system "Teachme Biz".
Studist will continue to support the realization of lean operations for companies both in Japan and overseas by continuously strengthening its AI functions and enhancing implementation support for on-site operations.
■ Market Background: The Acceleration of "On-site DX" and the Importance of Manuals
The domestic market for manual creation/on-site training tools is experiencing rapid growth against a backdrop of structural challenges faced by on-site operations, such as worsening labor shortages, the need for multilingual support due to a sharp increase in foreign workers, and the risk of skill succession due to the retirement of skilled technicians. According to Fuji Chimera Research Institute's survey, the market size in fiscal 2024 was 4.55 billion yen (actual), but it is predicted to reach 11.2 billion yen (about 2.5 times larger) by fiscal 2030, with a very high compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.2% expected.
Investment in manual creation and on-site training tools is accelerating, especially in industries with "on-site" operations such as manufacturing, retail, construction, and logistics, as a means to address these challenges. Studist leads this market with its main product, Teachme Biz, and has once again secured the top industry share in this survey.
■ Factors for Achieving No. 1 Share
We believe the following four features of Teachme Biz have greatly contributed to achieving the No. 1 share (62.5% in volume, 57.1% in value (*1)) this time.
On-site perspective of "ease of viewing" and an overwhelming track record of implementation (62.5% volume share)
The "ease of viewing" of manuals, which allows on-site (non-desk) workers in manufacturing, retail, and logistics to solve problems on the spot, and its intuitive operability have been highly evaluated. This on-site convenience has been supported, leading to its adoption in over 2,300 companies across various industries both in Japan and overseas, and the acquisition of an overwhelming share exceeding half the market.
Significant reduction in creation time through AI utilization (up to 93% reduction)
AI functions were quickly implemented from May 2023 and are now standard. The ability to provide high-quality educational content quickly while minimizing the burden on the site, such as reducing manual creation time by up to 93% (according to our research) through AI utilization, has become a major factor driving the market.
Expanded adoption in mid-sized and large companies, mainly in the manufacturing industry
Adoption is expanding, centered on major manufacturing companies with production and sales bases both in Japan and overseas. In addition to sharing know-how across bases and countries, combining it with the latest AI-powered work visualization improves the educational efficiency of young employees and enables the digital succession of skilled techniques. Its reliability and scalability, which allow for stable operation regardless of scale or number of locations, have been highly evaluated.
Total support from "work visualization" to "establishment"
We have built a unique system that provides total support from implementation to establishment, not just by providing tools, but also through services like our "Business Assessment Service" which visualizes tasks and determines creation priority, and "Device Rental" for companies lacking devices. This has accelerated the "horizontal expansion" where use spreads from one department to the entire company.
■ Summary: Market Trends and Future Outlook
Overwhelming market share: 62.5% volume share / 57.1% value share (FY2024 results)
Market growth potential: The market is expected to grow rapidly to 11.2 billion yen by FY2030 (approximately 2.5 times the size of FY2024).
Main implementation effects: 93% reduction in creation time using AI, and faster onboarding of new employees.
Use cases: Procedure confirmation and OJT efficiency in on-site settings such as manufacturing, retail, construction, and logistics.
Large enterprise DX case study: Utilized for technology sharing across multiple locations in global manufacturing and for the succession of skilled techniques through AI.
Organizational implementation effects: Achieves both company-wide productivity improvement and reduction of education costs by turning knowledge into an asset across departments.
■ Future Development
Studist will not only evolve the functions of "Teachme Biz" itself but also further deepen the collaboration with each service in the "Teachme Series" in the manual creation/on-site training tool market, which is expected to expand further toward 2030.
We will continue to lead the market as a partner that supports the realization of lean operations by focusing more deeply than ever on solving on-site issues and fundamentally improving the productivity of the entire organization.
