Abstract
This IDC study provides a detailed overview of IT spending
trends and forecasts for 17 vertical markets (or sectors) and
10 product and service categories in Bulgaria. The study features
overviews of key industry developments, industry challenges, and vertical-specific IT
drivers and trends and includes tables detailing IT spending by
vertical market for each product and service type for the
20082013 period. Analysis is based on continuous research, the monitoring
of users' IT spending and emerging purchasing patterns, and supply-
and demand-side research.
"IDC believes IT expenditure in the manufacturing, retail,
wholesale, construction, and finance industries will suffer most during the
crisis, while the transport, communications, utilities, and public verticals will
be slightly less affected. Many companies, particularly SMBs, will prolong
hardware and software renewal cycles, while capital shortfalls will lead
to a reduction in IT services projects. Demand for BI
and security solutions, however, is expected to remain stable, and
IT outsourcing is expected to make some modest gains."
