BMI View: An active start to the year saw a clutch of contract awards in the water sector, as well as new bidding deadlines for centrepiece water projects - a positive statement of intent from the authorities in Muscat, who are facing a faster demand outlook than they had anticipated originally. With the Ghubrah desalination plant now underway, with the official contract signing completed by project leader Sumitomo in February 2013, independent water and power projects (IWPPs) will set the pace, though wastewater remains a critical component in the Sultanate's water strategy going forward. We expect more project activity through 2013 and into 2014, as the government grapples with a difficult supply/demand picture.

BMI View: We forecast total IT spending will increase to THB251.1bn in 2013, an increase of 14.6% from 2012. We then expect growth to continue for the duration of our forecast period to 2017, albeit with a decline in the growth rate as the market matures. By 2017 we forecast the market will have reached THB367.7bn in value. As the market matures we expect software, and especially services, will account for a larger share of total revenues. This trend will be the result of price pressures in the hardware market from competition and commoditisation of basic IT hardware - but more significantly the growth of services that capitalise on the spread of connectivity. We highlight two key areas: cloud computing as corporates invest in expanding and efficiency-generating cloud services; and, 'big data' as corporate customers implement real time business management systems and also look to extract consumer information from the explosion in social networking and mobile connectivity.
