DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The “The
IT Industry in South Africa 2019” report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s
offering.
IT spend in South Africa is forecast to increase at a higher pace than
the economy in 2019. Although the general state of the economy has a
direct impact on the growth of the ICT sector, its customers continue to
invest in technology and the sector consistently shows a growth rate
that is higher than GDP. Cybersecurity is a high priority, with global
statistics indicating that South Africa is the third most targeted
country in the world for cyber-attacks. Alleged IT-related procurement
irregularities revealed through a number of commissions of inquiry and
investigations continue to affect the reputation of some industry
players. It is estimated that there are over 13,000 IT companies and
over 3,000 electronics companies in South Africa with the vast majority
being small companies employing less than 50 people.
New and growing trends will provide significant opportunities for small
and large players in the sector. These include growth in
telecommunications, data centre revenues and artificial intelligence and
the internet of things, where start-ups are expected to lead innovation.
Digital transformation to improve customer experiences and online
purchasing, fintech banking, blockchain, augmented reality and virtual
reality are some of the technologies that will disrupt the South African
ICT industry in 2019. The industry is characterised by consolidation and
convergence of companies within the IT sector, and between companies in
the IT and telecommunications sectors.
This report focuses on the IT industry, including hardware
manufacturing, assembly, and supply; software development and supply;
and retail sales of both hardware and software. It examines the state
and size of the industry, trends, new technologies and innovations and
factors influencing the sector’s success. There are comprehensive
profiles of 112 companies including South African units of international
groups such as Microsoft, Dell and Oracle, and South African-bred
companies such as AdaptIT, Altron and Dimension Data, as well as
companies under pressure such as EOH and Ayo Technologies, which is the
subject of investigation following an investment by the Public
Investment Corporation.
