in the far eastProduction technology leadership goes
to Asia, where are the production volumes too
Network leadership is shared between Europe and USA, China will gain position

Services offer the biggest market opportunity for ICT
MARKET CONCLUSION
29.4.2011
Source: IBM, development in the USA
(A) Agriculture:Value from
harvesting nature
(G) Goods:Value from
making products
(S) Services:Value from enhancing the
capabilities of things (customizing,distributing, etc.) and interactions between things
The relatively shrinking goods industries will start to use horizontal ICT technology but slowly. The ICT-utilization is driven by productivity gain and growth opportunities and based on the reutilization of solutions, which are firstly created in and for the service industry
