Vietnam’s IT industry to grow at highest rate in Southeast Asia
|
The US-based International Data Group (IDG) forecasts that
the Vietnamese IT market’s spending will reach nearly US$2.2
billion this year and over $3.5 billion in 2013.
According to IDG, as of 2010, Vietnam will be the IT market
with the highest growth rate in Southeast Asia.
Last year Vietnam, the Philippines and Indonesia were the
three Southeast Asian countries that had a growth of IT
spending of over 10 percent. This year, despite the global
economic slowdown, the spending of the Vietnam IT market is
still predicted to grow by over one percent. The
implementation of big foreign-invested IT projects, the
development of the third generation (3G) mobile network and
investment in IT infrastructure, particularly in the private
sector, will be the motivation for the IT market.
