Forrester predicts global IT market growth in 2010
US and Asia-Pacific will lead the way among global regions
(4/9/2010)
The final quarter of 2009 showed signs that decline in growth rate of the worldwide IT market had stopped and would reverse throughout 2010, market research firm Forrester predicts in a new report. “The tech recovery has started in the US and around the world,” read the report’s executive summary. “Q4 2009 IT market indicators showed an end to declines, setting the stage for stronger growth in 2010.”
While US IT market will grow by 8.4 percent in 2010, global IT market will grow by 7.7 percent, the study forecasts. Computer equipment and software segments of the market will lead the way, while the IT services market will lag. PC’s, peripherals and storage gear will lead in the computer segment and OS software and applications will lead in software.
The research firm’s predictions differ from forecasts of the competing firm Gartner. While Gartner also predicts that IT market will grow this year, the firm says it will only grow by 4.6 percent.
According to Forrester, growth will be strongest in the US and Asia-Pacific, while western and central Europe regions will expand at the slowest rate. The firm estimates total current US IT market size to be about $741 billion.
