‘Over the past decade, digital trade has been expanding at 5.4% per year on average. Data transfers are estimated to contribute $2.8 trillion to global GDP — a share that exceeds the global trade in goods and is expected to grow to $11 trillion by 2025’

Predicted growth throughout industries is huge. The value of digital trade will continue to grow and automated processes are expected. The fact that the value of data transfers is set to quadruple by 2025 suggests a strong reason for investment.

What’s at risk? What else is growing?

Cyberattack damage is also estimated to grow, but can be countered by cybersecurity solutions, where its industry is ‘predicted to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.7% [by] 2026’.

ESG initiatives are increasingly moving to the top of the agenda for companies, where global ESG assets are on the up as they focus on improving their sustainable profile. Such assets are anticipated to grow and surpass as much as $50 trillion by 2025.

‘The digital economy will continue to define the borderless world’

70%+ of new value will be created over the next decade based on digitally-enabled business models, including more AI and robotic tools.

The report underlines the boom in adoption of digital solutions, as more services will be automated. It’s a given. Whilst large tech corporations lay offs thousands of workers to save costs by using digital tools, more users will continue to use these to automate mundane tasks or activities adding little value.

There is only excitement ahead for procurement.
