This year's predictions for the technology, media and telecommunications (TMT) industry underscore a common theme, with both consumers and businesses doing more with less—as inflationary pressures, supply chain issues and world events cause uncertainty.
Consumers are looking for more cost-effective ways to communicate, be entertained and be productive, while businesses are looking for efficient innovation to compete, differentiate and grow revenue. Our emerging trend analysis should guide TMT organizations as they plan for the future and strive to meet their customers' needs.
On 2 February, together with our global TMT specialist, we will explore topics that may impact your daily business in Luxembourg and beyond from our new TMT Predictions global report. We will highlight how the economic crisis is driving and altering TMT trends. We will also reveal the shining opportunities emerging in spite of it:
- 5G’s promised land finally arrives: 5G standalone networks can transform enterprise connectivity. The migration to 5G standalone core networks is expected to allow for increased device density, reliability, and latency, opening the door to advanced enterprise applications.
- Tech’s climate commitment: Organizational and personal impacts are pushing tech leaders toward faster climate action. The technology industry has ambitious deadlines for achieving net-zero. Operational efficiencies, sustainable products, and tech innovations can help it get there. Achieving net-zero is a priority that the technology industry is taking to heart. Deloitte Global predicts that observes that more tech companies are aiming for net-zero by 2030 than non-tech companies.
- Everyone’s watching: AVOD finds an increasingly receptive audience. Advertising-based video on demand’s (AVOD’s) appeal surges as price-conscious viewers become more willing to watch ads in exchange for discounted or free streaming video.
- Too congested before we’re connected? Broadband satellites will need to navigate a crowded sky. Low-earth orbit (LEO) satellites could bring high-speed internet to every corner of the world—if they can stay out of each other’s way. Fortunately, adjacent industries are gearing up to help.
- As seen in your feed: Shopping goes social, trending past US$1 trillion in annual sales. Propelled by social media influencers and digital-native consumers, social commerce is laying the groundwork for a broader shoppable media landscape. The social media feed is the new storefront—and users are doing more than just window-shopping.
- Accessible is possible: Introducing the US$99 5G smartphone. 5G phones under US$100 will bring advanced wireless to consumers worldwide, with software, ads, and content sales providing the profits. Billions of people around the world lack access to any kind of smartphone at all, let alone one with 5G. For many, cost has been the major barrier—until now.
