Review of detail some of the forecasts of experts of the sector of technologies of information, IDC or Gartner in mind.
Investments. For computing, consumer as professional, 2007 will not be a banner year, with growth of 6.6 in the world, stable over one year, according to IDC. Software will record the strongest growth ( 8), services ( 6) and materials ( 6.5), sales of PC widely with the public launch of Windows Vista provided end of January. In Western Europe, spending will grow a little more than 5, i.e. a point more than last year. In France, Syntec Informatique provides similar to that of the year growth last sector of the software and services (from 6.5 to 7.5).
Offshore. The large "pure players" low-cost computer should do their shopping, provides IDC. Wishing to enhance their benefits, the Tata, Wipro and other Infosys should get their hands on players in the Council to better penetrate regional markets, aided by a profitability significantly higher than that of their Western competitors, and their abundant liquidity.
Software. Competition between large publishers (Oracle, SAP or Microsoft) will intensify in 2007. Oracle example could strengthen by external growth in the field of research on the Internet. IDC also expects initiatives on the part of HP. After the acquisition of Mercury last summer, society might get their hands on an actor (Fast, Autonomy ) research or computer decision-making (Business Objects or Cognos).
At the same time, SAP and Microsoft should move up a gear in software services. The research firm considers that one of the precursors of this area, Salesforce, will be probably purchased in the year.
Security. Security issues should still win in acuity. Gartner Group estimates that by the end of the year, 75 of enterprises will be infected with malicious software. Spam will not be outdone. Evaluated to about 93 of global email by Postini, anti-spam solutions specialist traffic, their number is expected to increase. The Secuserve laboratory, spam should represent 99 of the exchange of professional mails in France by the end of the year, compared to 95 in 2006!
Mobile. For experts, more than a billion mobile phones will be sold in the world, the emerging countries, China and India in head, pulling the market. Despite this symbolic threshold crossing, the growth of this sector should slow down. Gartner anticipates an increase of 10 of sales, compared to 21 in 2006 (with 986 million delivered units). Same caution in the first world manufacturer, Nokia, which also betting on a near 10 growth.
Consumer electronics. The explosive growth of sales of flat screen televisions should decelerate in 2007. According to iSuppli, those of LCD televisions should grow by 57 to 62.5 million units, in net decline from 95 posted in 2006. The slowdown value should still be marked: 20 in 2007, with 53.5 billion, compared to 76 last year. In France, GfK table on 3.2 million units LCD and plasma 600,000 in 2007 respectively 42 and 25 growth against 105 and 60 in 2006. The year that looks also decisive in the confrontation between the two competing DVD formats, Blu - ray and HD DVD.
Semiconductor. This year, the flea market should show that growth in a number of the order of 8 to slightly more than 245 billion. This will not prevent the industrialists to invest more than 40 billion dollars, or 24 more than in 2006, year which had been marked by a decline of 12. 2007 could be placed under the sign of the consolidation, after a year 2006 which resulted in several changes of shareholders or divisions (Freescale, Philips-NXP, Infineon-Qimonda...).
