Market Overview
Slovenian IT market growth is projected to slow further in 2009, due to tighter credit conditions and anunfavourable external economic environment. However, the market fundamentals of rising incomes in acontext of below-EU average PC penetration mean that this relatively small IT market should advance ata CAGR of 6% over the forecast period of 2009-2013.
The market faces a number of challenges in the near-term, leading BMI to downwardly revise its fiveyearIT spending projections. In 2009, tightening credit conditions will impact on household and businessdemand. Despite these negative trends however, there were indications in Q408 and into 2009 thatcomputer sales at least were still increasing.
Slovenia IT spending is projected to BMI to advance from US$1.2bn in 2009 to nearly US$1.5bn in2013. Rising GDP/capita over the next few years should ensure continued growth, along with governmentand EU funded ICT initiatives. Slovenia became a member of the eurozone on January 1 2007, and thedirect and indirect effects of EU membership will continue to drive IT development.
