Gartner sees global IT spending to reach $3.7trn in 2013
- Middle East: Saturday, January 05 - 2013 at 05:16
According to a report by research firm Gartner, global IT spending is likely to reach $3.7trn in 2013, up 4.2% over 2012 spending of $3.6trn. The rise will mostly be from projected gains in the value of foreign currencies versus the dollar, Gartner said. Worldwide devices spending which includes PCs, tablets, mobile phones and printers, is forecast to reach $666bn in 2013, up 6.3% from 2012. However, this is a significant reduction in the outlook for 2013 compared with Gartner's previous forecast of $706bn in worldwide devices and 7.9% growth. The long-term forecast for global spending on devices has been reduced as well, with growth from 2012 through 2016 now expected to average 4.5% annually in current US dollars (down from 6.4%) and 5.1% annually in constant dollars (down from 7.4%), the report said.
