GLOBAL OUTLOOK
We entered 2022 with the hopes of putting behind the COVID related uncertainties on the back of vaccine roll out programs and well-established CAB protocols, only to witness heightened geopolitical tensions with Russia-Ukraine war in February 2022. The War has led to a surge in energy and commodity prices, further disruption in supply chain and trade flows for many sectors and have pushed global economies back to uncertainty. With inflation turning out to be persistent and broad-based and well above targets, major advanced economies quickened the pace of unwinding of their ultra-accommodative monetary policies. A number of emerging market economies (EMEs) have been in a tightening mode since 2021, and more are expected to follow. Equity markets have seen sharp corrections since the start of the calendar year with the market volatility index rising to a one- year high amidst geopolitical tensions. Currency markets have turned highly volatile in response to these developments.
Against this backdrop, GlobalData forecasts that the world economy will grow at a slower pace of 3.5% in 2022 following a 5.9% growth in 2021. Asia-Pacific will be the fastest growing region in 2022 with the real GDP growth rate forecast at 4.3%, followed by Middle East and Africa at 3.9%, North America at 3.5%, West Europe at 3.4%, Africa at 3.4%, Latin America at 1.9% and East Europe at -1.6%.
INDIAN ECONOMY OUTLOOK:
Economic activity which was recovering with the ebbing of the third wave, rapid stride towards universal vaccination, and supportive fiscal and monetary policies - now faces significant headwinds from the exacerbating geopolitical developments and the accompanying sharp rise in global commodity prices and weakening global growth outlook.
India saw a real GDP growth of 8.9% in FY 2021-22, higher than the pre-pandemic growth rates by 1.8%. We became amongst the top 4 largest forex reserves holding countries in the world as the forex reserves crossed USD 600 bn. Combination of high foreign exchange reserves, sustained FDI flows, and rising export earnings will provide adequate buffer against possible global liquidity tapering in FY 2022-23. The average headline inflation moderated to 5.2% in FY 2021-22 (April - Dec 2021) from 6.6% in the corresponding period of the year before, mostly due to easing food inflation guided by proactive and effective supply side management. However, with the pick-up in economic activity and sharp increase in international prices of crude oil and other imported inputs, inflation is expected to rise in FY 2022-23.
FY 2021-2022 has also been exceptional for the Indian capital markets as benchmark Sensex and Nifty scaled to touch the peaks of 61,766 and 18,477 respectively. A record Rs 891 bn (USD 12 bn) was raised via IPOs in the period April-November 2021. .
While Indias direct trade and financial exposures are modest, indirect spillovers from the slowing global economy, the sharp jump in commodity prices across the board and elevated risk aversion and uncertainty owing to geopolitical developments weigh heavily on the outlook.
IT SERVICES GROWTH OUTLOOK
The worldwide enterprise IT spending is forecast to grow by 7.4% in constant U.S. dollars during 2021, with an expected five-year compound annual growth rate of 7.04% in constant currency through 2025.
Total Enterprise IT Spending by Verticals, Worldwide
Note: The size of each bubble represents 2020 end-user spending by vertical in constant US dollars.
The total world enterprise spends on IT are likely to reach closer to USD 4 tn by 2025. The BFSI segment will continue to be highest spending enterprise for IT services, driven by continuously expanding digital capabilities in financial services organizations. BFSI companies (including insurance companies) IT spend is likely to cross USD 1 tn by the year 2025. The IT spends by CME segments are also expected to cross USD 700 bn mark in the year 2025 being on the cusp of 5G led transformations.
Growth in world-wide enterprise IT spend

We have acquired niche companies in recent years to scale up in the areas of Cloud, Engineering, Network Services and XDS. |

Risk mitigation through cyber security tools and controls such as firewall, antivirus, encryption, user awareness, etc. |
Climate change risks | Water scarcity, high water prices, water and air pollution may impact associate health & wellbeing, leading to loss of work continuity (attendance).

High cost of transition to lower emission technology. | ||
Increased prices/taxes on fossil fuels (petrol & diesel) Increased energy cost | ||
Global economy & geopolitical risks | The world is currently grappling with the double whammy of a health crisis and a war. The series of reactive actions taken by various countries have eventually led to disrupted supply chains and an environment of economic uncertainty. These uncertainties can translate into clients cutting down or pushing back their IT spend budgets thereby impacting our revenue. | We have a global and diverse client base which restricts the impact of external events on our revenue. Our business models have evolved over decades and can navigate changing business sentiments and economic cycles. |
