The computer market is poised for growth, driven by significant investments in smart city projects globally. These initiatives utilize information and communication technologies, facilitated by the Internet of Things (IoT), to efficiently manage urban services. IoT, a convergence of computing devices and digital objects, enables data transfer across networks with minimal human interaction. Companies operating in this market stand to benefit from the increasing popularity of smart cities. Notably, APG Algemene Pensioen Groep N.V. announced a €250 million investment in the "Smart City Infrastructure Fund" for smart city projects worldwide, reflecting the widespread adoption of this concept, even in developing nations with over 1,000 pilot projects underway globally.

The computer market is set to receive a boost from the rising demand in the information technology (IT) industry. The IT sector, involved in creating, managing, and applying technology, enhances the functionality of computer systems. Integrating IT solutions enables computers to perform tasks more efficiently. As of August 2022, the technology sector contributed 8.5% to the GDP in 2021, indicating the industry's significant impact on the computer market.

However, the computer market faces challenges due to anticipated interest rate increases, particularly in developed nations such as the USA and Europe.
