2014 is coming soon, according to Business Insider, which of the 2013 's fiery technologies will be hotter next year. Including cloud computing, big data, the rise of tablet computers and the Internet of things. In this respect, market research firm IDC forecasts in detail how these trends will unfold next year and how to generate a huge market of $1 billion trillion.
1. Individuals and businesses will spend 2.1 trillion of dollars on technology next year
IDC predicts that global IT spending will grow by 5% to 2.1 trillion dollars next year. Both individuals and companies will buy smartphones and tablets, a sector that will grow by 15% per cent next year, more than 2013 years. Businesses will enable new hardware and mobile devices to strengthen data centers, including better servers, storage, networking, software and services.
The only individuals and businesses that won't buy more will be PCs. Next year global PC revenues will fall 6%,IDC forecasts.
2, the United States and countries outside Europe will be crazy to buy High-tech and High-tech products
Individuals and businesses in technology emerging countries in 2014 will be approximately crazy to buy High-tech and High-tech products. Four of the hottest emerging markets are: Brazil (Brazil), Russia (Russia), India (India) and China. These four countries are called the BRIC countries. IDC predicts that, with China's huge progress, spending will rise by 13% in the 4 countries next year.
IDC also predicts that this is the first time in history that, in addition to the BRIC countries, spending on technology in other emerging countries will grow significantly. This includes other countries in Asia, Latin America, the Middle East and Africa.
All in all, countries outside the US and Europe are spending 10% to nearly 740 billion dollars a year on technology, a figure that has led to a rise in global IT spending by more than 1/3 next year. Some big it vendors will grow more than 60%.
3, enterprises will put a lot of money into the "cloud"
Many companies have only started to cloud computing before 2013 and are buying cloud services heavily in 2013. In the 2014, corporate spending on the cloud would be staggering. IDC forecasts that companies will spend $100 billion trillion on cloud spending in 2014, up 25% from 2013. In order to keep up with the needs of customers, the future of enterprise investment not only in the cloud services, will also spend a lot of money in the provision of cloud services hardware.
4. Amazon and Google will start a war for the cloud
Cloud computing will continue to grow and be more professional and fragmented, with more cloud services in the future in different industries.
IDC predicts that Amazon's Web services (AWS), which has been leading developers and businesses on the front end, will "Avalanche" in 2014. Google will catch up with Amazon on cloud computing.
Then all the IT companies (including Cisco, EMC, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Microsoft, VMware) will also be using their company's cloud services to Pre-cloud Amazon and Google.
5, the growth of mobile devices will endanger Microsoft
The rise of mobile devices has been going on for years, and this growth trend will not stop in 2014. IDC predicts global tablet sales will grow 18% next year and smartphones will grow by 12%.
IDC predicts that the smartphone and tablet market will spend $423.1 billion trillion by the end of 2013, but the market costs only $350 billion trillion.
Sales of mobile smart devices will continue to be dominated by Apple and Samsung. But in 2014, Android app developers will make more money, but should not exceed the money that iOS app developers make, IDC predicts.
2014, for Microsoft, must quickly grow developers in the WP platform development and application of interest. At least let developers have more than twice times the current interest in the WP platform, IDC forecasts.
6, large data will become larger
Spending on big data technology and services will rise by 30% in 2014, more than $14 billion trillion, IDC predicts.
The big data is that businesses store large amounts of data in their data centers and on the Internet. Enterprises through the screening of these large data to real-time forecast business environment and service customers.
With big data so hot, it will be hard for companies to hire people to work on these big data. This means that the coolest and most interesting large data mobile applications (the big one) will gradually replace the artificial cloud services. Instead of wasting money to build their own cloud services, companies are more cost-effective at buying large data cloud services.
7. Social networking software will be swallowed up
One trend that will ebb in 2014 is social networking. Corporate social networking will become part of the enterprise software program, IDC predicts.
This means that companies will not be interested in "social messaging applications such as Facebook." Instead, embed messaging applications within the enterprise's internal software. IDC predicts that in the middle of the 2015, almost all enterprise-class software will have built-in social functions.
8. The rise of crowdsourcing innovation
IDC predicts that 2014 will be the year of the rise of "crowdsourcing innovation communities". Instead of building a new product and service on its own, companies will use the resources of the Internet to distribute jobs.
Each industry will have its "platform for innovation" crowd, an early example of GE's Predix, a cloud service company that helps large industrial companies build their products, IDC describes. The entire industry will turn to Amazon, Microsoft, Ibm,salesforce and other companies to carry cloud services in specific industries.
P.S was officially published in the 2006 Wired magazine June, when the magazine's editor, Jeff Howe, first elaborated on the concept of crowdsourcing: a new business model in which companies use the Internet to distribute jobs, discover ideas or solve technical problems.
9, the Internet of things will become a reality
The concept of the Internet of Things was first mentioned in 2012. This concept allows billions of of devices to join the network, creating the so-called IoT concept.
In 2013, large it vendors, such as Cisco and Salesforce, began issuing their first internet products. Next year, these big manufacturers and start-ups will bring more things to the Internet.
IDC did not predict how much revenue would be generated by the 2014 Internet of things, because the growth rate was too fast to predict.
By 2020, 30 billion of inanimate objects will become "smart", all of which will join the Internet and be controlled by applications. IDC predicts that by 2020, the Internet of things will generate a 8.9 trillion dollar revenue market.
