UK information technology sector growth will be driven by areas such as the app economy and cloud computing and there are promising signs for growth of emerging technologies such as data centres and Big Data that are subject to government support. However, we continue to point to significant downside as the elections in 2015 could impact public spending. Spending is already squeezed by fiscal austerity measures, fragile business and consumer confidence and a decline in desktop and notebook shipments and the failure of high profile public IT projects in recent years has heightened public scepticism about further projects and resulted in much tighter scrutiny of spending. The result of these trends is a forecast for UK IT spending to increase 4 .6 %, to GBP 60. 5bn in 201 5 .

Headline Expenditure Projections:

* Computer Hardware Sales: GBP20.4bn in 2014 to GBP21.3bn in 2015, +4.2% in local currency terms. A boom in tablet sales has offset the decline in purchases of desktop and notebooks but with the tablet market heading towards saturation growth will continue to decelerate in 2015.
* Software Sales : GBP12.9bn in 2014 to GBP13.3bn in 2015, +3.6% in local currency terms. OS upgrades have boosted demand, but there is faster growth in areas such as security solutions and big data analytics.
* IT Services Sales: GBP24.5bn in 2014 to GBP25.9bn in 2015, +5.5% in local currency terms. The high level of IT services adoption among public institutions means growth will increasingly be driven by the enterprise sector in the UK.
