International IT market is resisting the downturn
market news

  

Despite the weakness in the international economy, demand for information technology will continue to increase in the coming year. According to our latest forecasts, turnover of IT equipment, software and IT services in Western Europe should increase by 2 percent in 2009, to a round 315 billion Euro. Increasing demand for IT from the public sector will contribute to this growth. Providers of software and IT services in Western Europe should achieve a substantial increase in turnover of 3.2 percent in 2009, to 228 billion Euro. In comparison, manufacturers of IT hardware are facing a decline of 1.3 percent, to 87 billion Euro.
We are expecting the development of the IT market in Western Europe to be more robust than in the USA. IT turnover in the United States is forecast to grow by 0.8 percent to 347 billion Euro. Before the global financial crisis became more acute, we were assuming growth of the IT market at a level of 4.4 percent in the USA. The global IT market for the year 2009 is expected to grow by 2.7 percent to 983 billion Euro. The driving forces are emerging markets like China, India and Russia, which still have some ground to make up in developing their IT infrastructure.

So far, the IT industry has navigated the economic storms with relative stability. This shows the increasing importance of information technology for business. Modern IT systems lead to lower costs, promote innovations in products and processes, and are therefore an important instrument in managing the crisis.
