Higher degrees of uncertainty have to be expected in any business driven by enterprise software, enterprise hardware or consumer hardware and services, as fears of recession grow.
Information technology spending might have grown by the end of 2022, but there are widespread fears of a slowdown, especially of capital investment, at least for 2022. But IT spending might grow in 2023, Gartner data suggests. Still, the composition of that spending will vary: more spending on software and integration and less on hardware, for example.
But all such forecasts are susceptible to any rapid changes in behavior. Impressionistically, major tech firms are prepping for lower sales and activity, suggesting that earlier forecasts are off.
I cannot remember a recession that did not change behavior.
