The research firm expects 2.7% more growth in global IT spending for 2026 than it did just two months ago, with better than previously projected spending on AI infrastructure leading the way.
The colossal outlay is against the backdrop of 95% of organisations reporting zero return on investment in generative AI projects.
In a volatile economy, the need to wrangle unmanaged SaaS spend and take actionable steps to regain control has never been more important.
That’s based on the responses of 750 technical professionals and executives who were surveyed for Flexera’s 2025 State of the Cloud Report.
Already three years late, NHS England have confirmed that a revised go-live date of April 2024 had been missed.
The research and consultancy firm predicts that investment in IT will grow by 9.8% in 2025 – thanks to demand for Gen AI technology.
The new Flexera survey also found that OpenAI joined Microsoft, Google and AWS as a top priority software vendor for the first time this year.
An estimated global spend of more than $5.7 trillion will be driven by factors like AI, price increases and COVID-era device replacements.
