Research and Markets estimated that annual global sales of information technology reached nearly $8.4 trillion in 2021. At that level, IT sales made up just less than 9% total estimated global annual gross domestic product (GDP). Global IT sales tend to grow about 6.6 percent annually. For the sake of argument, let's assume that the annual IT sales growth averages 6.6 percent from 2022 through 2030. This assumption includes global GDP growth for the period averaging just over 3.0 percent annually.
