US Tech Market to Grow By 5% In 2017-2018, Says Forrester
According to a Forrester Research study, US tech market will grow by around 5% in 2017 and 2018.
This forecast is based on:
- Steady US real economic growth will support moderate growth for US business and government spending
- BT spending continues to outpace traditional IT spending, but the two segments of tech spending will begin to converge
- Cloud’s strong growth is finally showing in the top-line numbers.
Forrester’s Andrew Bartels says, “We are forecasting growth of 4.8% in 2017 and 5.2% in 2018 for US business and government spending on tech goods, services, and staff. This forecast assumes moderate US economic growth (2% to 2.5% real GDP growth, 4% to 4.5% nominal GDP growth). Considering this economic outlook, our updated 2017 forecast is slightly less positive than our December forecast (4.8% vs. 5.1%) for US budget growth in 2017, with our new 2018 forecast pointing to a modest improvement next year”.
