Gartner increases global IT spending forecast 4 times times this year

Despite the earthquake and tsunami in Japan in March this year, Gartner, a market-research firm, expects global IT spending to grow by 7.1% this year, and cloud services spending at 4 times times faster than the industry.

Gartner estimated global IT spending estimates on June 30, above the 5.6% expected in the first quarter. This shows that the earthquake and tsunami in Japan in March this year will have some impact on the scientific and technological sector, but the overall impact is not as bad as some people estimate.

June 21, market research firm Gartner and IHS Isuppli released independent reports that the impact of the earthquake and tsunami was not as bad as expected.

Dale Ford, senior vice president of IHS Isuppli, said in a statement after the report: "As the global electronic supply chain is strong, the semiconductor industry will grow steadily in 2011," Delle Ford. Neither the Japanese earthquake nor the weak economic environment can stop the expansion of the market. ”

"Japan's earthquake and tsunami failed to have a significant impact on global IT spending," said Richard Gordon, a Gartner analyst, in a statement Richard Gerton. Japan's IT spending is expected to decrease in 2011, but the growth trend in the second half of this year will continue until 2012. ”

Gartner expects 2011 IT spending to grow from $3.4 trillion trillion in 2010 to $3.7 trillion, with hardware and computing spending growing 11.7% to 419 billion dollars, and public cloud services spending growing at the fastest rate, from 74 billion dollars in 2010 to $177 billion. Cloud services Market growth is 4 times times the overall IT spending.

"Cloud services are a major development trend, with software as a service (SaaS) spending currently accounting for 10% of the company's application software, and 2015, its share is expected to grow to nearly 15%, with annual spending of more than 20 billion dollars," Girton said. ”

Gartner's spending report shows that corporate software sales will grow 9.5% to $268 billion this year; IT services will grow 6.6% to 846 billion dollars; telecoms technology spending will reach 2.1 trillion dollars, up 6.9% from 2010.
