SMB IT spending trends: 2024–2029

Access up to three of our latest reports based on Analysys Mason’s SMB Technology Forecaster. These reports offer forecasts on how small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) will prioritise IT investments to drive business growth and innovation. They will help vendors and operators to understand and respond to SMB market demands and offer insights to inform their marketing and strategic initiatives.

SMBs (those businesses with less than 1000 employees) are at a turning point in their adoption of technology. They have made advances in their technological capabilities, are better-informed about technology developments and understand the important role that IT plays in business continuity and growth.

These shifts have helped to shape the technology-first mindset of the ‘modern SMB’.

As a result, SMBs are actively investing in cloud infrastructure, managed services and cyber-security solutions to enhance their IT environments and to ensure that they are resilient during future disruptions.
