Forrester: 2010 to 2012 Global Tech Industry Outlook
Executive SummaryIn this whitepaper published by Forrester, the state of the global tech industry is looked at through the lens of the lingering recession, questions about the future of the euro in Europe, doubts about the strength of the US recovery, and worries about overheated economies and higher inflation in China and Latin America. Despite these troubles, it claims, the global economy should continue to grow in 2012 and, in particular, the 2012 IT industry outlook is for accelerated growth to 8.7%. The Latin America and Eastern Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EEMEA) regions are projected to grow the fastest, with Asia Pacific and the US also strong. Computer hardware growth will continue to slow to 7.4% after booming in 2010, as software continues to accelerate. Communications equipment will lag, with carrier demand weak but enterprise demand for wireless, unified communications, and videoconferencing taking off. IT services and outsourcing will be mixed, with growth in some markets (e.g., project services in the US and outsourcing in Latin America) but weakness elsewhere. Vendors will need a different playbook to succeed in this shifting tech market. Table of Contents
