India Information Technology Report Q4 2014 - New Market Study Published

From: Fast Market Research, Inc.
Published: Mon Oct 13 2014


India's IT market development trails far behind fellow Asian giant China, with the notable exception of its export oriented IT services industry. One positive from India's relatively undeveloped status is that it has great potential over the medium term, with a PC penetration rate around half the level in China. Following the election of Modi's government we have raised our outlook for Indian IT spending , and now forecast the market will grow at a CAGR of 12.7% 2014-2018. H ardware sales will be key as incomes rise and government initiatives extend PC ownership to lower income segments, while we also expect robust enterprise and public sector hardware demand. While the outlook is bullish , we maintain our view that the extreme level of inequality and poverty in India will ultimately be a brake on IT spending growth.

Headline Expenditure Projections

* Computer Hardware Sales: INR1.25trn in 2013 to INR1.41trn in 2014, +12.6% in local currency terms. Tablet growth will outperform but we also forecast a rejuvenation in notebook demand following OS licensing fee cuts and the withdrawal of Microsoft support for XP in H114.
* Software Sales: INR233bn in 2013 to INR268bn in 2014, +15.4% in local currency terms. OS upgrades will boost software spending growth in 2014, but the continued high incidence of piracy will be a drag on growth.
* IT Services Sales: INR471bn in 2013 to INR541bn in 2014, +14.9% in local currency terms. Large projects are expected from the government, including its push to developing a private government cloud, as well as from other key verticals such as telecoms.
