Channel resilience shines through market uncertainty
The channel is outperforming the vendor community in revenue and profit performance. While vendors grapple with the challenging macroeconomic conditions, the #channel’s importance continues to grow as customers turn to partners to help with exploding digital and #cloud complexity.
The Canalys analysis shows that combined revenue for the global Tech Titans (18 leading technology vendors tracked by Canalys every quarter) fell by 5% in Q4 2022 – the first decline in a decade – while net income shrank by 19%.

Tablet shipments grew in Q4 2022 despite economic challenges
The latest Canalys data shows that worldwide PC (including tablet) shipments fell 21% year on year in Q4 2022, to 105.6 million units. This brought full-year 2022 PC and tablet shipments to 434.5 million units, a decline of 13% from 2021 when nearly half a billion devices were shipped.
The #tablet market proved to be resilient in Q4, posting shipment growth of 1% to land at 42.3 million units. 2022 ended with a total of 150.8 million tablets shipped, down 5% from 2021. #Chromebook shipments hit 3.6 million units in Q4 2022, down 10% annually.

Worldwide cloud service spending to grow by 23% in 2023
Worldwide #cloud infrastructure services expenditure grew 23% year on year in Q4 2022 to reach US$65.8 billion, an increase of US$12.3 billion. For the full-year 2022, total cloud #infrastructure services spending grew 29% to US$247.1 billion, up from US$191.7 billion in 2021. The quarterly growth rate slowed, down over 10 percentage points from Q1 2022 (34% in Q1 2022 against 23% in Q4 2022). Rising public cloud costs, fueled by inflation, are forcing enterprise customers to optimize public cloud spending after constant IT investment in digital transformation over the past three years.

2yAll day I speak with Channel Leaders eg CRN Channel Leaders list, Partner Professionals, CxO's etc, they are just "barely" starting to understand the power of Partner Ecosystems.
