Boston, MA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 02/13/2014 --The UAE IT market is one the most lucrative globally due to high incomes and propensity to spend from consumers, enterprise and government. The continued strong performance of the UAE economy, as reflected by relatively high business confidence, rising real estate prices and growth of the tourism sector, will sustain demand for IT products and services. Furthermore, the government is boosted the IT market through adoption of emerging technologies such as big data analytics and smart infrastructure through the implementation of various smart city and e-governance projects. We also highlight the growing opportunities in the consumer segment in the form of mobility solutions that can take advantage of the high smartphone and tablet penetration in the country. There is, however, downside to this outlook from the regional economic and political situation, with the potential for escalation in cyber security threats a pertinent risk for the IT market.
