Abstract
This IDC study provides a detailed overview of IT spending trends and forecasts
for 17 vertical-market sectors (or industry sectors) and 10 product categories,
including hardware, packaged software, and services in Saudi Arabia. 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 for the 2008-2012 period. Analysis
is based on continuous research, the monitoring of users' IT spending and
emerging purchasing patterns, and supply- and demand-side research.
"Saudi Arabia' s IT market is the largest in the Middle East and will remain so
through 2012. As the government tries to diversify the economy beyond oil and
gas and create jobs for its youth population, IT vendors will find many
opportunities within the finance, telecoms, government, and home vertical
markets." - Vertical Markets Manager Robert Rosenthal, IDC Middle East and
Africa
