"France Information Technology Report Q1 2016" is now available at Fast Market Research

We hold a moderately positive outlook for the French IT sector in 2016 after downgrading our view for 2015 in our Q4 15 report. We forecast the IT market to grow by 1.4% in local currency terms this year to reach a total value of EUR53.26bn. Growth in dollar terms will be slower due to currency volatility and the strength of the US dollar. We believe the market will contract by 1.4% in dollar terms to reach a total value of USD56.99bn. This forecast does not alter our view of France as a mature IT market with lucrative markets for advanced IT products and solutions, as well as a leading ecosystem of local firms, particularly in the software and services segments. There are specific product growth opportunities we highlight, including enterprise spending on cloud services including SaaS, IaaS and PaaS, datacentre facility expenditure and implementation of internet of things solutions.
