Digital Technologies and the Transformation of the Business Landscape
“Worldwide IT spending is projected to total $3.9 trillion in 2021, an increase of 6.2% from 2020, according to the latest forecast by Gartner, Inc. Worldwide IT spending declined 3.2% in 2020 as CIOs prioritized spending on technology and services that were deemed “mission-critical” during the initial stages of the pandemic” – Gartner 2020
“Dentsu Digital Report 2021 reveals that digital media will grow at 20% to reach a market size of Rs 18,938 crore by 2021 and with a CAGR of 22.47% to reach Rs. 23,673 crore by 2022.” – Business Insider 2020
The digital economy has unlocked new opportunities for the business world, while simultaneously creating new areas of competition in both traditional and new sectors of the economy.
