Global IT spend to reach 30-year high in 2025 - IDC
Worldwide IT spending is set to rise 14 percent in 2025, reaching its fastest growth rate in three decades, according to new figures from IDC. The research firm links the jump mainly to a wave of investment in artificial intelligence infrastructure, as companies upgrade data centres, networks and related systems to support AI workloads.
IDC notes that this AI-driven push comes on top of regular IT refresh cycles, lifting overall budgets rather than just shifting money from other tech projects. The firm’s latest outlook suggests that organisations are moving from small pilots to wider AI deployments, and that this shift is now clearly visible in global IT spending patterns.
