Brazil Information Technology Report Q3 2016 - New Study Released

Risk remains elevated in Brazil with an ongoing corruption scandal and impeachment proceedings, while the economic environment is still a negative in 2016. We therefore expect another year of local currency IT spending contraction, and sharp decline in US dollar terms due to currency weakness, but performance will not be as bad as in 2015. Looking further ahead, we expect a gradual recovery from 2017 as sentiment improves and purchasing power recovers, which should unlock deferred spending from 2015 and 2016, but we caution that downside risks feature heavily in our outlook even over the medium term. Our core scenario is for IT spending is forecast to increase at a CAGR of 8.6% over 2016-2020.

Latest Updates & Industry Developments

Computer Hardware Sales: BRL37.0bn in 2016 to BRL49.5bn in 2020. A sharp deterioration in Brazilian purchasing power resulted in a collapse in demand for IT hardware, which means there is pent-up demand that will boost growth rates once economic conditions improve.
Software Sales: BRL20.0bn in 2016 to BRL27.6bn in 2020. The extent of the crisis means software investments were deferred or scaled back, but SaaS is a bright spot, and potential cost savings will prove attractive.
IT Services Sales: BRL29.5bn in 2016 to BRL42.8bn in 2020. IT services forecast to continue outperforming over the medium term based on enterprise demand for cloud services and Internet of Things solutions.
