"Bulgaria Information Technology Report 2015" now available at Fast Market Research

After several years of anaemic growth, or even contraction, the Bulgarian IT market is forecast to move onto a faster growth trajectory from 2015 as the economic environment strengthens. T he Bulgarian IT market is one of the least developed in Europe, with relatively low penetration of hardware among consumers and enterprises , which we believe will result in a period of faster catch-up growth once confidence levels recover . For instance, the low PC penetration rate means there is potential for vendors to tap into demand from first-time buyers and upgrades/replacements - in contrast to more developed markets. Other areas of the market where we expect strong growth include cloud services , as end-users become better educated and supporting telecoms infrastructure improves, and the software development industry, which grew rapidly even during the recession. However, one area we expect Bulgaria will continue to trail its regional peers is in terms of adoption of emerging technologies , such as the Internet of Things and Big Data analytics.
