Despite the economic slowdown in Brazil, the Information and Communications Technology (ICT) market is expected to grow this year.
New figures from IDC estimate that growth throughout LATAM will recover, albeit slightly. IDC reckon that some US$130 billion will be invested in IT and US$213 billion. This represents an increase of 3.3% over 2015.
For Brazil, the growth in ICT is estimated to be 2.6%, compared to 5% last year. Observers say that this lower rate of growth is not surprising, given the economic slowdown, and that 2016 will be a difficult year. However, business opportunities will drive IT.
IDC has identified ten trends that will impact upon Brazil in 2016.
