Description
Tech, Media and Telecom (TMT) Predictions 2023 - Thematic Intelligence
Summary
Companies that invest in the right themes become success stories; those that miss the big themes end up as failures. Given that so many themes are disruptive, it is very easy to be blindsided by industry outsiders that enter your sector. To help businesses in the tech, media, and telecom (TMT) industry stay ahead of the competition and understand what 2023 will hold, GlobalData’s thematic analysts have produced the TMT Predictions 2023 report.
In this report, we identify the top 25 themes that will impact the TMT industry in 2023. We predict how each theme will develop in 2023, provide infographics using data from GlobalData’s intelligence centers, identify winners and losers, and point you towards further reading. This multi-theme report will help you to understand and identify the important themes that threaten to disrupt your business in 2023. Opportunities await those who can exploit the benefits of each theme.
Consumer interest and increasing regulation have afforded environmental, social and governance (ESG) themes greater consideration in company strategy. All large technology companies have a stated commitment to ESG, but their goals, delivery, and reporting can vary substantially. In 2023, consumers will focus on the immediate concerns of rising inflation and the energy crisis, and ESG will be overshadowed.
The combination of inflation, supply chain disruption, and the Russia-Ukraine war will ensure that 2023 is another turbulent year. During the expected recession in many developed markets, consumers will struggle to justify purchasing non-essential products such as smartphones and televisions, resulting in reduced growth for the consumer tech industry. However, the difficult economic climate could present new opportunities for enterprise tech vendors as companies turn to digital transformation to cut costs and improve efficiency.
Cooling interest, economic obstacles, and the immaturity of enabling technologies will lead to a metaverse winter in 2023. The metaverse has been promoted as a revolution in how humans socialize, consume media, and work. This will not happen until the metaverse is regulated, interoperable, and has a common definition, which will not occur in 2023.
