recent years、A term that has become commonplace

ＧＡＦＡ

There is something called。
I can imagine that it's probably an abbreviation that takes the initials of something.、What on earth do you mean?
It may be too late now, but、I would like to summarize。

What is GAFA?、A coined word that takes the initials of four company names

First、How to read GAFA、

Garfa

It is read as。

This is the etymology of GAFA.、It is a coined word created by taking the initials of four company names.。
All four、I think everyone has seen or heard about this company at least once.。

I would like to briefly introduce each。

【Ｇ】：GOOGLE

The first G、It's a company called GOOGLE.。This is what I use when searching。

The global market share of search engines is said to be over 90%.。

[A] Apple

Facebook is that、This is the company that operates Instagram.。It may be said that they monopolize the SNS market.。

【Ａ】：Amazon

The fourth A is、It's Amazon.。Amazon may be called the yokozuna of internet shopping.。

Many of the items are cheaper than buying them at regular stores.、Many people probably use this service because it delivers heavy items to their homes.。

Taking the initials of these four company names、It's called "GAFA"。

why、Will GAFA be taken up?

So why、このＧＡＦＡの４つの会社が新聞等に取り上げられるかというと、この４つの会社が市場を独占しているからです。

世界中のデジタル市場で独占しているがために、市場をゆがめているのではないかと、各国政府が懸念しているので話題になりやすいです。

Because of the high monopoly rate in each field、It has too much influence!

I want to keep an eye on it。
