The outlook for US IT spending remains strong when compared to the majority of developed markets over the medium term, as a result of stronger economic performance and a greater interest from enterprises in the latest products and solutions . Cloud computing, real-time enterprise software, security and big data are all areas of spending in which we expect to see strong growth, particularly in the latter years of our forecast . The retail hardware outlook is more mixed, as we expect continued demand growth for tablets in the retail market; however, desktop and notebook sales continue to be squeezed. Total spending is expected to reach USD681 bn in 2015, up 4.8 % from 2015, and grow at a CAGR of 4.5 % 2015 - 201 8 .

Headline Expenditure Projections

* Computer Hardware Sales: USD216bn in 2014 to USD223bn in 2015, an increase of 3.0%. Tablet volumes set to decline, but at a slower rate than 2014, while traditional form factors are expected to continue gaining ground after steep declines in 2012 and 2013.
* Software Sales: USD181bn in 2014 to USD191bn in 2015, an increase of 5.2%. Enterprise software-as-a-service adoption has strong momentum, while demand for cyber security solutions is also an area of growth.
* IT Services Sales: USD252bn in 2014 to USD267bn in 2015, an increase of 6.1%. Cloud computing adoption is already high in the US but we expect strong growth to continue over the medium term despite security concerns following on from the NAS Prism debacle.
