Gartner analysts estimate the degree of reduction in the global IT market segments in 2015
Gartner analysts have identified 5 segments of the global IT market, which in 2015 will most of all be reduced in dollar terms. This is reported by CNews publication with reference to the research materials.
The cost of corporate software will decrease by 1.2%: from $ 314 billion in 2014 to $ 310 billion. In 2014, the growth of this segment was 5.7%.
The cost of network equipment and data storage systems for data centers in 2015 will decrease by 3.8% in dollar terms and amount to $ 136 billion. Last year, they were $ 142 billion. It is expected that customers will prefer to increase the period of operation of existing technological solutions and will try to postpone innovations.

In 2015, global IT spending is expected to reach $ 914 billion. This is 4.3% less than in 2014 ($ 955 billion). In 2014, an increase of 1.9%.
Expected growth in costs for consulting services in the implementation and monetization of cloud services.
The cost of devices will decrease by 5.7%: from $ 693 billion in 2014 to $ 654 billion in 2015. Last year, their growth was 2.4%.
Analysts have noted an increase in the global smartphone market and a drop in sales of PCs and tablets.
World expenses for communication services will decrease by 7.2%. In 2015, the volume of this segment will be $ 1.5 trillion. Last year it was $ 1.6 trillion. The telecommunications services segment will show the largest decline in 2015 among other segments for two reasons: due to lower prices for telecommunications services and due to increased competition.
In general, global IT spending in 2015 will reach $ 3.5 trillion compared with $ 3.7 trillion in 2014. Reduction will be 5.5%. In 2014, the growth of IT costs was 1.6%.
Reducing global IT costs is a consequence of the strengthening of the dollar. With fixed exchange rates, market growth in 2015 would be 2.5% in dollar terms, analysts at Gartner believe.
