Cloud, hyperscale and digital service providers already account for 20% of IT infrastructure hardware spending, with 75% of that spending from the 8 largest hyperscalers alone. Add in colocation and managed services hosting providers, plus communications service providers, and by 2023 more than 60% of infrastructure hardware spend will come from the overall service provider segment.
While commercial end-users in other industries shift an increasing proportion of their budget to IT ‘as a service’, service providers will increasingly be the driver for IT vendor strategies and product development.

Overall IT spending may be more predictable than in the past, as an increasing share of end-user tech spend moves from volatile Capex to relatively stable Opex thanks partly to the growth of cloud and mobile, but the key to gaining competitive advantage still lies in being first to recognise significant shifts, anomalies and surprising trends. Here are just five of them.
