Abstract

This IDC Market Forecast assesses the network consulting and integration services (NCIS) services market in Western Europe (WE) and Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) in 2021 and forecasts market developments until 2026. It is based on IDC's technology forecasts and IDC's Services Tracker, combining a bottom-up and top-down approach. The report contains market size by regions and key countries. It highlights growth drivers and inhibitors and presents key points for technology suppliers to consider.

"The European NCIS market had a very successful 2021, with most services firms returning to growth due to pent-up demand and the accelerated digital initiatives. As organizations continue to focus on improved network operations, more efficiency, better profitability, and resilience, the NCIS market in 2021 and beyond will continue to grow. On the downside, we expect the growth path being disrupted in the near term, driven by worsening economic conditions, a tight services labor market, supply chain and inflation issues, and other sudden events such as the Russia-Ukraine War," said Sylvia Wünsche, senior research analyst, Enterprise Networks and Life-Cycle Services team.
