Business Monitor International Launches Latest Report in India

LONDON, May 31, 2011 -

Business Monitor International (BMI) has announced the launch of its
latest report on India's Information Technology industry.

The report includes BMI's market assessment and independent 5 forecast to
end 2015, covering personal computers and software; semi-conductors, memory
chips, integrated circuits and general components; the internet and IT
solutions.

The India analysis (
analysis.businessmonitor.com/intelligence/asia/india/all-industries)
report also analyses regulatory changes (licensing, customs and intellectual
property protection) and competitive landscapes comparing multinational and
national IT companies by products, sales, market share, investments, projects
and expansion strategies.

BMI's India Information Technology Report provides industry professionals
and strategists, corporate analysts, IT associations, government departments
and regulatory bodies with independent forecasts and competitive intelligence
on the IT industry in India. The report is vital for all these groups to
benchmark BMI's independent 5-year IT industry forecasts to test other views
- a key input for successful budgetary and strategic business planning in the
India IT market. It is also vital because it allows them to target business
opportunities and risks in India's IT sector through reviews of latest
Information Technology trends (
analysis.businessmonitor.com/intelligence/all-regions/all-countries/information-technology
) regulatory changes, and major deals, projects and
investments in India. Finally, it allows these groups to assess the
activities, strategy and market position of competitors, partners and clients
via Company Profiles, including KPIs and latest activity.

In 2011, India's potentially vast IT market should consolidate its strong
performance in 2010 thanks to an improving economy and consumer sentiment.
Computer shipments were up by around 30% in 2010 compared with 2009, and
although growth is expected to moderate in 2011 due to base effects, it
should remain comfortably in double-digits.

Less than 3% of people in India own a computer (about one-fifth of the
level in China), meaning particular potential in the lower end product range.
However, realisation of this long-term growth potential depends on
fundamental drivers such as raising India's low computer penetration, rising
incomes, falling computer prices and the government's ambitions to connect
the vast rural areas to the outside world.

However, the key threat to the Indian IT sector is the global economic
slowdown and rising costs that will impact on consumer and business
sentiment.
