Just Published: "Singapore Information Technology Report Q1 2016"

After a contraction of the hardware segment dragged down the IT market growth rate in 2015 we forecast slightly stronger performance over the medium term, with a CAGR of 4.3% forecast for 2015 -2019 to a total market value of SGD9.1 bn in 2019. Stabilisation of the tablet market after the boom and decline associated with the concentration of first-time buyers over 2011-2013 will support the hardware segment, but it will still underperform the software and services segments. Singapore is a leading market for the adoption of cloud services, as well as being a regional hub, and we expect strong growth to continue over 2016-2019 as vendors capitalise on the lucrative enterprise base in Singapore's economy with large financial services, ICT and manufacturing verticals. Emerging technologies around the Internet of Things will benefit similarly, as well as being boosted by the supportive policy environment that is positioning Singapore as a regional leader.
