Abstract

This IDC Survey investigates the impact of external forces, explores how organizations use technology to stay on track, and assesses the use of NextGenerationEU (NGEU) and national recovery funds on organizations' business priorities and IT spending plans by industry.

IDC's 2022 European Industry Acceleration Survey is a landmark study that provides deep insight into European organizations' digitalization efforts, exploring opportunities and reactions to currently volatile economic and political conditions — disrupted supply chains, growing inflation rates, the consequences of the Russia-Ukraine War, regulations, and sustainability requirements.

The survey sample covers organizations from the U.K., Germany, France, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, four Nordic countries (Sweden, Denmark, Norway, and Finland), Poland, the Czech Republic, and Romania. These 13 countries are responsible for more than 75% of the European economy (assessed in terms of the gross domestic product of 43 countries). It covers the following vertical markets: finance, manufacturing/life science, retail/wholesale, professional services, healthcare, transport, telecom/media, utilities/oil and gas, and government/education.
