Review Western European Mobile Phone Forecast and Analysis, 2004-2009 / IDC Research:This IDC study presents IDC's 2005–2009 forecast for Western European mobile phone shipments including traditional mobile phones and converged devices. A review of performance in 2004 is presented, including vendor and country analysis, followed by the IDC forecast, which examines future shipments for traditional mobile phones and converged devices by air interface and technology. According to Geoff Blaber, research analyst, European Mobile Devices, "In 2004 the mobile phone market grew by 18% to 142. 2 million units, fuelled by contract renewal cycles, handset upgrades, and consumer demand for feature phones incorporating an expanding range of specifications such as high resolution screens, cameras, and Bluetooth. While 3G will drive consumer demand in 2005, IDC predicts negative growth for standard mobile phones between 2006 and 2009 as increased data consumption and positioning of converged devices as media solutions designed for specific applications such as music or imaging, increases the total proportion of converged device shipments.

Review 2005 Clustering of Western European SMBs: Where Are Real IT Opportunities? / IDC Research:This study is based on the results of IDC's European Vertical Markets survey, carried out in April/May 2005 in the top 5 Western European countries (France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the U. K. ) among 728 SMBs with more than 20 and fewer than 500 employees. By following a clustering analysis, this study looks at SMBs' attitude towards information technology. Each of the four clusters identified represented companies in the survey that share similar attributes in the two indexes employed for the analysis. These four clusters were referred to as IT-oriented, fast followers, laggards, and wait-and-see adopters. "Given fast followers' current basic infrastructure and lack of internal skills, they will need strong external support in order to integrate the new applications into a single enterprise information system. The addition of new software solutions requires often moving from a basic to a more mature infrastructure (e. g. , upgrading the servers, storage capacity, or the firm's networking system)," said Laura Converso, senior research analyst with IDC's European Small and Medium Business Service.

Review Western Europe CRM Applications Forecast, 2004-2008 / IDC Research:This IDC study examines the customer relationship management (CRM) applications market in Western Europe for the period 2003–2008, with market growth forecasts, forecast assumptions, and vendor guidance. The $2. 1 billion Western European CRM applications market finally appears to be turning healthy with a predicted 2004 growth of 2%. The market is expected to grow to $2. 6 billion in 2008 with a 2004–2008 CAGR of 4. 6%. "Software-as-a-service CRM offerings represent a key growth driver. Software-as-a-service will broaden the overall CRM adoption, rather than steal users from traditional CRM solutions. This expansion of the CRM user base will much more than offset the lowered per-user price point of software-as-a-service solutions," said Bo Lykkegaard, senior research analyst, IDC European Software Group.

Review Western Europe PC Market Analysis, 3Q06: IDC Raises Short-Term Notebook Forecast Driven by Stronger-than-Expected Back-to-School Performance / IDC Research:In 3Q06 the Western European PC market experienced a healthy rebound with overall unit shipments increasing by 7. 8% versus a forecast of 4. 5%. The stronger than expected performance underlined IDC's assumption that the slowdown in 2Q06 was temporary and was mainly due to increased levels of inventory coupled with slower consumer demand during the World Cup. The healthy trends across the region were stimulated by strong portable uptake. This has encouraged IDC to slightly raise its PC growth projection for the final quarter of the year with the market forecast to expand by 8. 8% versus 7. 7% as in the previous forecast. As a result, overall growth in the Western European PC market is expected to reach 7. 0% for the full year 2006. [+]Key growth assumptions for 2007: "According to IDC, notebook demand will show sustained strength and will continue to drive overall market growth in 2007," said Eszter Morvay, research analyst for IDC's EMEA Quarterly PC Research Group. With attractive promotions in the retail starting as early as October, the run-up to Christmas is expected to be buoyant with 4Q notebook sales projected to increase by 20. 4%, contributing to an overall growth of 20. 3% for the full year 2006. The shift towards mobile platforms, especially in the consumer and SMB segments, will continue unabated in 2007, stimulating further expansion in the notebook market by 17. 2%. Desktop demand is expected to remain subdued in the short-term and IDC forecasts the desktop market to stagnate at -0. 7% in 4Q06, which will bring the overall decline to 2. 7% for the full year 2006. Following a slow start in 1Q07, desktop demand is expected to pick up, fuelled by a new rebound in IT investments in the enterprise sector. As a result in 2007 growth will return to positive trends at 2. 9%. Over the forecast period, PC market dynamics will be driven by strong consumer sentiment boosting household spending across the region. "Western Europe will be increasingly characterized by replacement demand with second-time buyers opting for higher-end configurations even at a price premium. This trend is expected to compensate for the continued price erosion of entry-level systems, and therefore resulting in the stabilization of overall ASP levels," she added. Commercial demand will remain primarily driven by increasing notebook adoption in the SMB space, and to a lesser extent in the corporate sector. Large organizations will continue to prefer deskbound systems as the main computing platform, in order to lower their TCO, tighten security and ease manageability and deployment. A new cycle of corporate refreshes, commencing in 2H07, will help lift demand levels across all form factors.

Review Fixed Telephony Services in Western Europe, Forecast and Analysis, 2003-2008 / IDC Research:Revenues from voice telephony are now declining in most European countries. IDC estimates that the European fixed-voice market will decline from $108 billion in 2003 to $95 billion by 2008, which is a compound annual growth rate of -3%. "With the total market declining, service providers have entered a fierce battle for market share," reports Jill Finger Gibson, research director, European Fixed-Voice Services. "However, this can only be a short-term strategy: in the longer term, voice service providers will need to think seriously about the viability of offering traditional fixed-voice services at all. ".

The analysis provides an outlook for the SMB market structure and size across 16 Western European countries and 21 sub-vertical markets. The main points analyzed include SMBs' number of enterprises and performance measured by employment. ''In comparison with other regions, the business demography of Western Europe shows the prevalence of the small firm, with the average Western European company employing only 12 people. Most SMBs are micro-enterprises serving local markets and for the most part struggling to stay in business in a unified and fiercely competitive European environment,'' said Laura Converso, senior research analyst with IDC's European Small and Medium Business Service.
