World Demand for Information Technology is on the Move - The BECH Index 2017

Targeted audience The target audience for this whitepaper is the board of directors, the CEO and the sales and marketing executives of B2B information technology companies with ambitions for achieving global market leadership.

Abstract This whitepaper presents an estimation of the relative demand capacity for B2B information technology and related services worldwide. This estimation is called “The BECH Index.” TBK Consult calculates the BECH Index annually based on data published by The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). The CIA1 is an independent agency responsible for providing national security intelligence to senior US policymakers. The CIA is separated into four basic components: the National Clandestine Service, the Directorate of Intelligence, the Directorate of Science & Technology, and the Directorate of Support. They carry out “the intelligence cycle;” the process of collecting, analyzing, and disseminating intelligence information to top US government officials. Please observe that the CIA revises their assessments, which may obsolete the BECH Index assessments for previous years. OBS: The BECH Index for 2016 and 2017 uses a new algorithm and the data is therefore not compatible with previous BECH Index reports.

World Demand for Information Technology is on the Move - The BECH Index 2017

The new BECH Index We have changed the algorithm behind the BECH Index for the 2016 and 2017 versions. We still use the Gross Domestic Product2 (GDP) as estimated and published by the CIA in their World Factbook3 and we still use the Purchasing Power Parity version that adjusts for the differences in the cost of living and price levels across the world. The new BECH Index uses the GDP composition on agriculture, industry and services. We assume that the demand for information technology will grow as a society moves from dependency on agriculture, through being dominated by industry to mainly producing services. We recognize that the productivity improvements that enable a society to survive and prosper with relatively small portions of the GDP coming from agriculture and industry is enabled and supported by information technology (and free international trade). However, we presume that the post-industrial activities are consuming far more information technology products and services than the primary and secondary sectors4. We have also decided to rename the annual report so that the current version is based on GDP data from the previous year. GDP data are published by the national statistical departments, but not all countries publish at the same time and some do not publish the data each year. We therefore wait for the CIA to gather and assess the data before we calculate and publish the BECH Index.

Grow fast or die slow The information technology industry is by nature a global industry. As the information technology industry is blessed with low cost of entry and simple supply chains, international growth comes much easier in the information technology industry than in most other industries.

_______________________________________________________________________________________ The GDP is a monetary measure of the market value of all final goods and services produced in a period (quarterly or annually). Nominal GDP estimates are commonly used to determine the economic performance of a whole country or region, and to make international comparisons. 2

Embarking on the global growth journey is also a necessity in the information technology industry. The combination of simple supply chains, economy of scale advantages and “crossing the chasm”5 characteristics make the information technology industry a “winner takes all” game. Information technology companies either grow fast or die slowly6. The market leader enjoys enormous advantages over number two, three and so on. Chances are that number one will continue to increase her market share while the followers will lose out. It’s not only the good old rule that the army with the most soldiers normally wins the battle. The information technology industry is governed by some very specific dynamics that are best understood by studying the

“law of diffusion of innovation.” Because of the nature of information technology products, the market prefers buying from the market leader. The first to reach the tipping point in a market gets caught by the tornado and suddenly revenue generation isn’t the primary concern anymore. Demand will drive revenue and fulfilment becomes the primary challenge.

How? As information technology companies prepare for global growth the first question to answer is “how?” We discuss these issues in the first three whitepapers in this series named “Entering a Foreign Market in the Information Technology Industry7.” We recommend that B2B information technology companies verify the viability of their business models in their domestic market first. When growing revenue has been proven profitable, predictable and scalable then it is time to conquer foreign markets.

Where? The second question asked before jumping to foreign markets is

“where should we go next?” To help information technology executives make this decision based on facts rather than emotions, TBK Consult calculates and publishes the BECH Index annually. The BECH Index for a country reflects the demand capacity of the country and thus also reflects the share of global demand for information technology related products and services.

Asia The World

The world market is divided into 229 countries of which some of the bigger countries must be considered as several markets. Talking about the US as one market when you haven’t won the first customer or independent channel partner there yet may seem overly selfconfident. For most information technology companies, the US is at least 50 geographical markets, Germany is 14 markets (Bundesländer), France is at least 4 markets, the UK is 4 markets, the Nordics are 4 markets and so on.

World Demand for Information Technology is on the Move - The BECH Index 2017

As can be seen from Table 1, world demand is on the move. The Americas have experienced a decline in the period due to a drop in the demand from all countries in North, Central and South America. Europe continues to lose its share of global demand although the decline is somewhat slower than in the Americas. Nevertheless, North America and Europe continue to be very interesting areas with some of the biggest markets in the world and because of increasing labor costs and public expenditure there is a growing need for information analytics, process and cost optimization information technology based solutions. The slight decline in the Middle East in 2016 was most likely an impact of the changes in the oil price. However, the region shows growth again in 2017. Future growth in the Middle East will require a restructuring of the economies away from the dependency on oil and gas. China continues its growth and has consolidated its position as the second largest information technology market in the world. China will most likely take the leadership position from the USA in 2018.

The Top 25 Markets These 25 countries make up close to 80% of world demand for information technology products and services with 201 countries sharing the remaining 20%. This doesn’t mean that these 25 markets are the most attractive as issues other than size may play a more important role. The five countries USA, China, Japan, Germany and the UK make up close to half of world demand for information technology.
