The Zhitong Finance App learned that according to the “IDC Worldwide Black Book” recently released by the International Data Corporation (IDC), global information technology (covering hardware, software, and IT services) spending is expected to grow 14% in 2025, the fastest growth rate since 1996. At the time, the release of Windows 95, the mass popularity of PCs, and the rapid development of the Internet all contributed to the take-off of IT spending. Nearly 30 years later, a massive wave of AI infrastructure investment is leading a new supercycle of technology investment. Global IT spending is expected to reach US$4.25 trillion (approximately RMB 30 trillion) in 2025. Including telecommunications and business services, the total global information and communication technology (ICT) expenditure would be close to 7 trillion US dollars (about 50 trillion yuan).
