Abstract

This IDC study provides a detailed overview of IT spending trends and forecasts for 17 vertical markets (or sectors) and 10 product and services categories in Israel. The study features overviews of key industry developments, industry challenges, and vertical-specific IT drivers and trends and includes tables detailing IT spending by vertical market for each product and service type for the 2008–2013 period. Analysis is based on continuous research, the monitoring of users' IT spending and emerging purchasing patterns, and supply- and demand-side research.

"Public sector expenditure remained high in 2008, helping Israel's IT industry to survive the economic downturn, despite a significant drop in IT spending in the manufacturing vertical and high-tech sector. As a result, IT vendors have been able to hold on in anticipation of an economic rebound in 2010." – Senior Analyst Efrat Drori, IDC Israel
