Gartner: Global telecom services industry spending fell by 1.2% in 2016
The latest report from market research organization Gartner pointed out that global telecom services industry spending is expected to drop by 1.2% in 2016 to 14.54 million billion dollars.
The cancellation of roaming charges in the EU and parts of North America will also have a negative impact on global telecommunications service industry spending.
Although the cancellation of roaming charges will bring about an increase in mobile voice and data services, it is not enough to sustain the losses caused by the cancellation of roaming charges.
The device market size, including personal computers, ultra-portable devices, mobile phones, tablets and printers, is expected to shrink by 1.9% in 2016.
With the rise of Windows 10 and Intel Skylake PCs, ultra-portable premium devices are expected to drive growth in the entire PC market.
Data center system spending will increase by 3% in 2016 to $75 billion.
The server market demand has far exceeded expectations, and this situation will last longer than expected.< /p>
Enterprise software spending will grow 5.3% to $326 billion.
IT services market spending is expected to grow by 3.1% to US$940 billion in 2016.
Gartner pointed out, This is mainly due to the popularity of cloud infrastructure and users' acceptance of the cloud model.
Total IT spending is expected to reach $3.54 trillion in 2016, an increase of 0.6% from $3.52 trillion in 2015.
