The report below gives a good overview of the Fall 2025 M&A activity in the Technology, Media and Telecom Industry Sector. The Technology, Media, and Telecommunications (TMT) sector is undergoing a major transformation, currently valued at around $5.1Tn and continuing to expand as businesses integrate advanced digital capabilities. The sector is growing in enterprise modernization, with around 76% of the TMT executives planning to leverage generative AI to accelerate innovation and operational efficiency. The global technology sector continued to perform strongly through the third quarter of 2025, supported by steady enterprise investments in digital tools and smarter IT systems. According to Gartner, the global IT spending is expected to grow by 7.9% this year, reaching about $5.4Tn. Companies are increasing their spending on cloud platforms, software services, AI-driven automation, and cybersecurity modernization, as they focus on improving efficiency and resilience in uncertain market conditions. Software and IT services are the principal growth drivers, showing double-digit gains as firms move from traditional setups to cloud-based systems. Even device spending, which slowed in previous years, is picking up again with demand for AI-enabled hardware and increased hybrid work support. Forrester's Global Tech Market Forecast (2024-2029) further states that the industry will likely grow around 5-6% annually until 2029, with the US, China, and Western Europe leading most of this expansion. By 2029, it is expected that 70% of the technology spending will be purely on software and IT services. The report highlights that AI adoption is currently shifting from pilot stage to everyday business use cases, with organizations focusing on building robust data systems, enhancing governance, and embedding AI into their operations. Despite a slower recovery in consumer electronics, steady progress in cloud, software, and managed services continues to fuel the market. Overall, the technology sector remains one of the strongest segments of the global economy, supported by the demand for digital transformation and ongoing competition for innovation.
