Risk/Reward Ratings: India's score is 42.6 out of 100.0. India ranks ninth in our latest Asia RRR table, ahead of Thailand and Vietnam but still behind China. The country achieved a relatively high IT Market score of 52.5, reflecting the potential returns, but its overall rating was lowered by a Country Structure score of just 15, the lowest in the region.
Key Trends & Developments.
* In 2012 there are expected to be strong growth opportunities in the next 200-400 smaller cities in India, where vendors are expanding their retail and distribution presence. Around 45% of new PCs sold in the Indian market are now shipping outside the top 75 cities. The government's policy of providing tax breaks and subsidies for hardware manufacturers should help keep prices down and support growth.
* Despite an overall low level of government IT/software spending, government programmes, at both state and federal level, are likely to become an increasingly important source of IT contracts over the next few years. At the federal level, programmes such as the five-year e-governance initiative, and smart ID project, will generate more IT investment. Meanwhile, education looms large in procurements from state governments such as Tamil Nadu.
* The enterprise segment could receive a lift with companies in key IT verticals such as telecoms, pharma, retail and banking indicating their intention to increase spending. The enterprise trend towards mobility is one key driver, as is the interest in cloud computing. While spending is expected to increase, the economic slowdown has encouraged a greater focus on RoI, meaning growing demand for virtualisation of server and storage solutions.
