IDC: Telecom market rose 18 percent in 2007

“The hardware segment growth was above expectations, especially in the notebook and multifunctional equipment fields. The Romanian market is still focused on hardware purchase (more than 77 percent of last year’s acquisitions were hardware products), especially in the public segment - administration, education and health,” said the Country Manager of IDC Romania, Laurentiu Popescu,.

For 2008-2012, IDC foresees that the main growth engines will be hardware and broadband internet services. The Hardware segment will represent more than 70 percent of the market by 2012.
