NEW DELHI: Worldwide IT spending is expected to total $5.43 trillion in 2025, an increase of 7.9 per cent compared to 2024, a report said on Thursday.
While there is a slowdown in business due to the ongoing geopolitical scenario, the spending on AI-oriented infrastructure would lead to spending in the IT sector, Gartner, an IT consultancy firm, forecasted in its recent report.
“While there is a business pause on net-new spending due to a spike in global uncertainty, the effect is subsumed by ongoing AI and generative AI (GenAI) digitisation initiatives, ” said John-David Lovelock, Distinguished VP Analyst at Gartner.
