Spending on IT in the Asia-Pacific region, excluding Japan, is expected to grow by about 4.9% and reach US$924 million (A$1.2 billion) this year, and US$1 trillion by 2024, the technology analyst firm IDC says.
Consumer demand had grown due to the lifting of lockdowns necessitated by the COVID-19 pandemic, it said, and as vaccine rollouts gathered pace, economic activity was expected to pick up.
