全世界的資訊科技（IT）應於明年達到2.14兆美金，根據國際數據資訊公司的報告指出（IDC）。
美國企業的IT支出預計將成長5%、西歐成長2%、中國8%，而日本則預計將持平。
根據國際數據資訊公司的報告指出，接下來12到18個月應該會有一個新的資本支出循環，部分是因為上一季的全球個人電腦出貨量顯示穩定。
新興市場（尤其是俄羅斯和中國）的經濟緩和了下來，以及成長步調的緩慢導致了IT業的困難。IDC的全球科技和業界調查小組的副總裁史蒂芬明頓表示：「這一年IT供應商過得很艱辛，前半年基礎建設的支出證實比先前預期的還要弱。」
全球智慧型手機的出貨量看來是IT業的主力，沒有它的話，這個市場可能就岌岌可危了。根據明頓所說：「行動裝置（尤其是智慧型手機）持續的強勢表現支撐了整個業界，但是新興市場成長漸緩，對以基礎建設為重的科技公司來說，除了美國政府扣減預算和歐洲持續的成長緩慢之外這又是另一記迎頭痛擊。」若沒有手機的話，成長率將低至0.7%。
(Business) Tech Spending Growth More Than 5% Worldwide
Worldwide information technology (IT) should reach US$2.14 trillion next year according to a report by the International Data Corp (IDC).
US corporate IT spending is expected to grow by 5%, West Europe 2%, China 8%, and Japan is predicted to remain flat.
According to the IDC report, the next 12 to 18 months should see a new capital spending cycle, partly due to global PC shipments showing stability in the last quarter.
An economic slowdown in emerging markets, especially those in Russia and China, as well as a slow pace of growth has led to difficulties in the IT sector. IDC Global Technology and Industry Research Organization Vice President Stephen Minton stated, This has been a tough year for many IT vendors, with infrastructure spending in the first half of the year proving weaker than previously expected.
Global smartphone shipments seem to be the main staple of the IT sector, without which the market would be in jeopardy. According to Minton, The overall industry has been propped up by continued strength in mobile devices especially smartphones, but the slowdown in emerging markets was another headwind for infrastructure-focused tech firms on top of government sequestration in the US and continued sluggish growth in Europe. Without mobile phones, the growth rate could be as low as 0.7%.
