Technavio’s market research analysts estimate the global IT services spending in the investment banking sector to be a little over USD 41 billion in revenues in 2014. The market is witnessing a surge in the demand for cloud computing with investment banks shifting to a more customer-driven environment. The implementation of cloud technology has significantly improved banking standards and helped investment banks gauge the client’s perspective. This shift towards the adoption of cloud technology presents a significant cost implication in the migration process from legacy systems. It is expected to emerge as a decisive factor impacting the growth of the leading players during the forecast period.

Geographical segmentation of the global IT spending by investment bank market

• Americas
• APAC
• EMEA

Technavio market research analysts have observed that European banks, particularly the ones in Western Europe are reluctant to invest further on banking IT infrastructure development because of the ongoing Eurozone crisis. Investment banks in Europe are most likely to focus more on cost reduction over the next four years.

However, countries in the Middle East have experienced tremendous growth in offshore application development and software testing activity on account of increasing government support. This trend is likely to impact the overall global spend on application outsourcing services in the future.
