What happened. Gartner puts 2025 worldwide IT spending at about US$5.58 trillion, up 10.7% on 2024. Canalys itself had cut its own 2025 forecast to 7.0% growth (US$5.35 trillion) during 2025, and Edwards put the 2025 market at "around 5.3 trillion" in November 2025, so on his firm's narrower B2B measure growth looks nearer 7-8%. Independent data (Gartner) shows 2025 IT spending growth of 10.7%, within 10% of his ~10% call. Scope differs from Canalys's B2B market, and on Canalys/Omdia's own later figures growth came in lower (about 7-8%), which would make it Mostly right.
