Mobility and online shopping are reshaping retail in the Czech Republic according to IDC.
Mobility trends oblige; from America, via Asia to EMEA, the momentum is
global. But as you can observe a set of negative conjunctures in Europe like the
various financial crises and recessions shrink this dynamic. The Czech Republic
is also been hit hard.
This week, Connectikpeople.co has captured a new study, from IDC (
IDC's Czech Vertical Markets 2013–2017 IT Spending Forecast ), which mentioned that, from 2013,
IT spending is expected to recover, with hardware, software, and services
spending all expected to make positive gains through 2017.
Here are some highlights captured by Connectikpeople.co: according to this
study:
- The consumer market: this accounts for around 17% of spending, and it is largely driven by tablet and smartphone acquisitions. It will also be the fastest growing market through 2017.
- Retail and manufacturing will be the next fastest growing: Mobility and online shopping are reshaping retail in the Czech Republic. Economic recovery in Europe will help spur demand for Czech exports, fueling a need to improve manufacturing efficiency.
- Midrange server segment: Connectikpeople.co observes that although servers represent a small part of the overall IT market, virtualization, datacenter development, and the push to consolidate hardware are generating demand for upper range low-end servers and midrange servers.
- Smartphone and media tablet expansion: here, we noted that, the rising uptake of smartphones and media tablets continued across all vertical markets and was the main contributor to overall IT market growth in 2012 in the Czech Republic.
