Hong Kong Information Technology Report Q3 2016 - New Study Released

IT spending in 2015 was dragged into a contraction by the sharp downturn in the hardware segment as tablet sales plummeted after a rapid initial diffusion of ownership, but we envisage a much more stable medium term growth outlook. We forecast total IT spending in Hong Kong will increase at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5. 6 % forecast over 2016-2020, to reach a total of HKD48.31bn. Enterprise software and services spending, particularly on cloud computing and Internet of Things solutions, will outperform.
