MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS REPORT

 

ECONOMIC AND INDUSTRY TRENDS

 

Economic Overview

 

The global economy witnessed slowdown in growth during FY 2016-17. According to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) interim outlook, the world economy grew by 3% in 2016 and is expected to grow modestly by 3.3% and 3.6% in 2017 and 2018 respectively. The modest pickup in global activity can be attributed to the effects of ongoing fiscal initiatives in economies like China and the United States, coupled with an easier stance in the euro area and forward initiatives undertaken.

 

The Indian economy, despite the momentary slowdown from the demonetization act, has succeeded in keeping its growth rate in line. It is projected that the Indian economy will grow to 7.3% in FY 2017-18 and 7.7% in FY 2018-19.

 

GLOBAL IT INDUSTRY

 

According to Gartner, the global IT spending is projected to be a total of $3.5 trillion in 2017, a 1.4% increase from 2016. By 2018, spending is forecast to exceed $3.56 trillion, a growth of 2.9% over 2017 spending. The Indian IT spending is forecast to reach $72.3 billion in the year 2017, up by 6.9% from 2016’s estimated spending of $67.7 billion. Some of the key verticals driving IT spending growth in India are BFSI, media, telecommunications, utilities and manufacturing markets. Software spending is projected to grow at 12.8% in 2017 to a total of $5 billion. Digital technologies play an important role in defining the sector and is expected to have 23% share by 2020 and 38% share by 2025. Digital technologies will bring about a significant change in the way the Indian IT-BPM industry functions. Geographically, North America and Western Europe contributed 39.33% and 31.74% respectively to the overall global IT spending.
