Digital is 22% of the world’s economy

DigitalAsPercentofEconomyTen in Fifteen: Digital was 22 percent of the world’s economy in 2015. It will rise to 25 percent by 2020, a 10 percent increase since 2005.

According to our global technology survey of more than 3,100 IT and business executives, 86 percent of the executives anticipate that the pace of technology change will increase rapidly or at an unprecedented rate in their industry over the next three years. And many companies, already reeling from the impacts of technology and the changes they need to make in response, find themselves temporarily overwhelmed—some even paralyzed
as they absorb the magnitude of the tasks ahead.
