DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/903bff/poland_information) has announced the addition of Business Monitor International's "Poland Information Technology Report Q4 2011" report to their extensive offering of IT market research publications.
Polish IT spending is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9% between 2011 and 2015, with IT services driving growth for the sector as a whole. The size of the IT market is estimated to increase to around US$12.7bn in 2015. Polish consumer spending bounced back in 2010, with notebooks among the biggest drivers of growth. Growth in IT services spending was more moderate but is expected to trend upwards in 2011. Poland still looks well positioned to be one of the best regional IT market prospects.
Industry Developments
Poland's National IT Infrastructure Plan for 2007-2013 was formally adopted by the government in 2008, following a public sector IT spending slowdown in preceding years. According to the Plan, some 75% of funds spent on government IT projects over the next five years is expected to come from the EU.
Software
The Polish software market is projected to be worth US$2.1bn in 2011 and is likely to grow to US$2.9bn by 2015, with a CAGR of 8%. Rising computer penetration in the enterprise sector has driven continued growth of software demand, despite software piracy issues.
IT Services
IT services spending, projected at US$3.4bn in 2011, is the fastest-growing sector of the IT market and is expected to rise to US$5.0bn by 2015. Spending on IT services is projected to grow robustly in 2011, boosted by projects previously delayed as a result of the economic slowdown.
E-Readiness
A recent survey revealed that, while overall online banking uptake and PC availability remained low, Polish online shopping already matched Southern Europe. Poland even outperformed Spain, with 30% of online consumers having previously purchased something online, compared with just 29% in Spain.
