Information technology (IT) is the use of computers, storage, networking and other physical devices, infrastructure and processes to create, process, store, secure and exchange all forms of electronic data. The main type of information technology (IT) are IT services, computer hardware, telecom, and software products. Computer hardware is the physical components that a computer system requires to function and encompasses everything within a PC or laptop. The services are used by large, small, and medium enterprises of financial services, retail and wholesale, manufacturing, healthcare and others. The global information technology (IT) market is segmented - 1) By Type: IT Services, Computer Hardware, Telecom, Software Products 2) By Organization Size: Large Enterprise, Small and Medium Enterprise 3) End User Industry: Financial Services, Retail & Wholesale, Manufacturing, Healthcare, Other End User Industries Subsegments Covered: Hardware Support Services, Software And BPO Services, Cloud Services, Computer Peripheral Equipment, Computer Storage Devices And Servers, Computers, Wireless Telecommunication Carriers, Wired Telecommunication Carriers, Communications Hardware, Satellite & Telecommunication Resellers, Operating Systems & Productivity Software Publishing, Database, Storage & Backup Software Publishing, Business Analytics & Enterprise Software, Video Game Software, Design, Editing & Rendering Software The global information technology (IT) market size grew from $8179.48 billion in 2022 to $8852.41 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.2%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The information technology (IT) market is expected to grow to $11995.97 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 7.9%. The demand for cloud computing services is expected to drive the demand for IT services during the forecast period. In the cloud computing model, data is stored on the internet by a cloud computing provider, who manages and operates data storage as a service. Many companies are now choosing applications hosted in the cloud for their day-to-day operations. For example, according to statistics provided by hostingtribunal.com, 60% of computing workloads were running in the public cloud in 2019. Similarly, 94% of enterprise workloads are expected to be processed by cloud data centers in 2021. Companies are also opting for cloud-based data storage, thus boosting the demand for IT services. Major companies in the information technology (IT) market include Apple, Microsoft, Verizon Communications, China Mobile, AT&T Inc., Huawei, Deutsche Telekom AG, Dell Technologies Inc., Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. and Comcast Corporation. The outbreak of COVID-19 disease (COVID-19) has acted as a significant restraint on the information technology (IT) market share in 2020 as supply chains were disrupted due to trade restrictions and employees working for these establishments faced difficulties related to infrastructure and communication owing to lockdowns imposed by governments globally, forcing them to work from home. COVID-19 is an infectious disease with flu-like symptoms including fever, cough, and difficulty in breathing. The virus was first identified in 2019 in Wuhan, Hubei province of the People’s Republic of China and spread globally, including Western Europe, North America, and Asia. Steps by national governments to contain the transmission have resulted in a decline in economic activity, with countries entering a state of 'lock down,' and the outbreak had a negative impact on businesses throughout 2020 and into 2021. However, it is expected that the information technology (IT) market will recover from the shock across the forecast period as it is a 'black swan event and not related to ongoing or fundamental weaknesses in the market or the global economy. Over the past five years there has been an increasing prevalence of low cost open source alternatives. Open source has become a preferred platform for developing new technology. In the past, software publishers would open source software that was not making money, but now companies are open sourcing software to increase their presence and share in the market. Supabase, a YC-incubated startup that offers developers an open-source alternative, announced that it had raised a $6 million in funding to create new open-source tools.

Video analytics is a technology that processes a digital video signal using a special algorithm to provide security to critical infrastructures with a powerful means for tracking people or objects, identifying and detecting intruders, and producing an alarm on types of behavior. The main video analytics components include software and services. Video analytics software helps in digital video surveillance, which comprises of one or more high-end PCs, video capture cards, and licenced analytics software, improves business processes and protects people and property. The organisation size for video analytics includes small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and large enterprises (LOE). The different video analytics deployment modes include on-premise and cloud for end-users including BFSI, retail, critical infrastructure, transportation and logistics, hospitality and entertainment, defence and security, and other end-users. The global video analytics market is segmented - 1) By Component: Software, Services 2) By Organization Size: Small And Medium Enterprises, Large enterprise 3) By Deployment Model: On-Premise, Cloud 4) By End User: BFSI, Retail, Critical Infrastructure, Transportation And Logistics, Hospitality And Entertainment, Defense And Security, Other End-users The global video analytics market size will grow from $5.87 billion in 2022 to $7.17 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22.1%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The market size of the video analytics is expected to grow to $14.9 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 20.1%. The drop in crime rate due to surveillance cameras is expected to propel the growth of the video analytics market. Surveillance cameras produce a large number of videos and are an essential part of securing any infrastructure. Video analytics helps in reducing crime rates by automatically tracking and gaining reliable insights from video frames, thus reducing the chances of negligence or human errors. For instance, in 2021, according to a systematic review of rigorous studies in the US and UK concerning the crime prevention impact of CCTV, stated that CCTV resulted in a reduction of crimes, especially theft and robberies, in focal areas, and it had been the most effective in public transport schemes (23% reduction) and car parks (more than a 50% decrease). Therefore, the drop in crime rate due to surveillance cameras will drive the video analytics market growth. Major players in the video analytics market are Allgovision Technologies Pvt. Ltd., Aventura Technologies Inc., Cisco Inc., Honeywell Inc., Intell Vision technologies Corp., Qognify Inc., Gorilla Technology, IBM Corporation, Calipsa, Bosch Security, Huawei Technologies, Bosch Security Systems GmbH, Agent VI, Genetec Inc., and PureTech Systems Inc.
