Fast Market Research recommends "Brazil Information Technology Report Q2 2013" from Business Monitor International, now available

Boston, MA -- (SBWire) -- 05/06/2013 --We forecast Brazil IT market spending to reach BRL23.7bn in 2013, an increase of 10% from an estimated BRL48.8bn in 2012. Despite a slowdown in PC sales in 2012 and forecasts of a deceleration of economic growth in 2013, we believe a number of factors will converge to stimulate faster growth in the IT market in 2013. In the hardware market, the launch of Windows 8 and the arrival of higher performance price competitive tablets will boost sales. Meanwhile, software and IT services will continue to derive benefit from Brazil's hosting of the Olympic Games and FIFA World Cup which is expected to drive billions of dollars of IT-related spending. Meanwhile, growing small and medium-sized interest in cloud computing will encourage more investment in data centres and IT services. Growth will slow slightly from 2014, but nonetheless remain robust as we forecast compound annual growth rate of 8.2% 2014-2017.
