2. The Americas will lead regional ITC spending growth

On a regional level (see my Figure) I expect the Americas to do best with a 1.6% growth to $2.659 trillion, followed by Asia Pacific (+0.8% to $2.187 trillion); I expect business in EMEA to decline slightly by 0.1% to $2.006 trillion. Americas’ rise in the chart is due in part to my use of constant dollars for comparisons, but in 2020 I still expect it to grow most if we use local currency spending.
