Strong economic growth and a government that is supportive of digitalisation underpin our IT growth forecast as this is also likely to filter through in a shape of increased go vernment spending. We forecast a CAGR of 15. 4 % for IT market spending 2015-2019 , with the market expected to increase to a value of LRK 188.8 bn in 2019 . We believe Sri Lanka will outperform the majority of IT markets in the APAC region due to a convergence of factors. Strong income growth and low penetration of PCs, enterprise software and services will combine to boost IT spending growth in Sri Lanka over the medium term. The local IT indu stry is also developing, with vibrant local software and BPO industr ies and the development of local facilities for PC manufacture and assembly to service the local market and wider region.
