ONGOING ANALYSIS

Brazil, Russia, India and China, commonly referred to as BRIC, consumed $65 billion of information technology in 2005 and combined IT spending in BRIC is expected to reach nearly $110 billion by 2009. Although they are often described as a group, Brazil, Russia, India, and China are a diverse and complex set of economies and cultures. Today these economies account for just 6% of global IT consumption, but by 2009 the BRIC emerging group will account for 8% of global technology spending, making it equal in size to the Japanese IT market. This is this reason why BRIC is becoming an important strategic focus for many global technology companies.

Monitoring developments in technology markets in these countries is a difficult and time-consuming task. IDC has over 110 employees in the BRIC countries, and its broad research coverage is designed to meet the tactical needs of country sales and marketing managers as well as the more strategic requirements of regional and global executives.
