Communication service is expected to see the lowest growth of 3.8 percent, but would maintain the largest IT spending segment in the country at 483 billion THB or about half of the total market.
In 2021, Thailand's overall IT expenditure is expected to hit 819 billion THB, up 7.4 percent year-on-year.
"Enterprises will increasingly build new technologies and software, rather than buy and implement them, leading to overall slower spending levels in 2022 compared to 2021," said John-David Lovelock, distinguished research vice-president at Gartner, as quoted by the Bangkok Post./.
