Market Overview

The French IT market is the third largest in Europe and, despite current economic headwinds, is projected to grow at a CAGR of 2.8% over 2012-2016, an increase on the 2011-2015 CAGR as growth is expected to pick up in the latter years of our forecast and the impact of the financial crisis is left behind. The addressable French market for IT products and services is projected by BMI to reach US$45.9bn in 2011 and US$52.7bn by 2016.

Having downgraded our forecasts for 2011 in last quarter's report, we have cautiously improved our expectations for forecasts in the latter half of our five-year forecast period.

Further cuts to public spending on the back of the eurozone's uncertainty will do little to ease consumers' minds. A slowdown in consumer spending does not bode well for IT service vendors. While a return to growth had been reported in the first half of the year, the ongoing crisis in the eurozone has done little to boost consumer confidence.

• Atos SA
• Capgemini
