Worldwide IT spending to grow 10.8 percent to $6.15 trillion in 2026, says Gartner
Gartner forecasts worldwide IT spending to reach $6.15 trillion in 2026, marking a 10.8 percent increase from 2025, driven significantly by accelerated server and data center spending, especially for AI infrastructure. While software spending growth is slightly revised downward to 14.7 percent, it will remain above $1.4 trillion, with generative AI models expected to see an 80.8 percent growth. Device spending will reach $836 billion but growth will slow to 6.1 percent due to rising memory prices and market-demand constraints.
