Download the Presentations and explore IDC's analysis on the Middle East Conflict and its impact on tech.

The Middle East conflict has introduced a new layer of complexity to an already uncertain global economy. While ICT spending has shown remarkable resilience — with cybersecurity, cloud services, and automation remaining top investment priorities — the macroeconomic spillover continues to evolve in ways that demand close attention from business leaders and technology decision-makers.

IDC analysts examined multiple scenarios now emerging for the second half of 2026, each carrying distinct implications for the technology industry — from potential disruptions to cloud economics, to questions around the sustainability of the current AI infrastructure boom.
