‘US Tech Market will Grow by 6.2% in 2013 and 6.8% in 2014, As Improving Consumer Spending and Housing Offset Government Cutbacks’ – ‘The Forrester Blog’
The latest article on ‘The Forrester Blog’ is titled “US Tech Market will Grow by 6.2% in 2013 and 6.8% in 2014, As Improving Consumer Spending and Housing Offset Government Cutbacks”.
Andrew Bartels says, “No one would claim that the US tech market is booming. With Europe still mired in recession and debt problems, US economic growth looking soft, and business and consumer worries about the US government raising tax rates and cutting Federal spending, it is not surprising that businesses and governments are being cautious in their purchases of technology goods and services. But we think the fear is overblown. Forrester’s forecast for the US tech market in 2013 and 2014 — published today as “US Tech Market Outlook For 2013 And 2014: Better Times Ahead” — projects a 6.2% rise in 2013 and a 6.8% growth in 2014 in US business and government purchases of computer equipment, communications equipment, software, IT consulting and systems integration services, and IT outsourcing. Adding in slow growing telecommunications services pulls growth down to 5.7% in 2013 and 6.1% in 2014. That may not be a boom, but it is certainly not a bust”.
