The rise of digital industries: navigating enterprise needs, investments and supplier decisions

Digital transformation of enterprises across vertical sectors is accelerating. During 2024–2030, enterprises will spend 10% of their revenues on digital transformation, and this provides new B2B opportunities to technology suppliers, including operators. The rise of digital industries is not one size fits all though. As sectors have different needs and priorities, getting insights directly from enterprises is key to formulate the right B2B strategies and capitalise on the digital transformation opportunity. 

Between June and August 2024, GSMA Intelligence surveyed nearly 4,200 enterprises across 21 countries and 10 vertical sectors to gain relevant insights into their digital transformation.

This report analyses the key findings and implications across different aspects of enterprise digital transformation, including strategic objectives, investment plans and priorities, deployment challenges, and supplier decisions. The report also provides insights into a range of technologies enabling digital transformation such as 5G, private networks, AI, cloud, edge, IoT, eSIM, cybersecurity, network APIs and more.

These insights can help suppliers of digital transformation technologies enhance their B2B strategies and messaging, improve their competitive position, target new services and markets, and redefine their budget and allocation of resources. For end users of digital transformation technologies, these insights can help enhance benchmarking activities, supplier decisions, services and products and spending decisions.
