Abstract
The IDC study Bulgaria Vertical Markets 2006-2010 Forecast, provides a detailed
overview of IT spending trends and forecasts for 17 vertical markets (or
industry sectors) and 10 product categories including hardware, packaged
software, and services. The study also includes an overview of key industry
developments, industry challenges, vertical-specific IT drivers and trends, and
tables detailing IT spending by vertical market for each product over the
2006-2010 period. Analysis is based on continuous research and monitoring of
user IT spending, emerging purchasing patterns, and supply and demand-side
research.
"In a rapidly changing market, vendors need to stay on top of trends and
opportunities. While the banking, telecoms, and government sectors offered
important growth opportunities in the past, IT vendors should not underestimate
the potential of the manufacturing and utilities sectors, and even the
long-neglected healthcare sector." - Ludmila Stoeva, Research Analyst, IDC CEMA
