MouseThe IT services sector is one of the strongest and most consistent performers in the UK economy.  In spite of concerns about the current downturn some analysts are predicting that the global IT services market will continue to grow.  Gartner, for example, predicts 9.5%, growth for worldwide IT services, with end-user spending forecast to exceed $819bn (£409bn) in 2008.  And while some forecasts put the market value at over $1 trillion by 2012, others are less optimistic.

Ultimately, the economic climate is likely to benefit some suppliers, particularly those whose services deliver real efficiencies to non-core activities, but may also lead to an increase in industry consolidation.
