Industry Survey 2006
ScotlandIS would like to thank all those companies who responded to the 2006 Technology Industry Survey. This has enabled us to provide a valuable oversight of industry predictions for 2006 for the Scottish market.
This report analyses the survey data regarding industry dynamics, business confidence, growth markets and employment and skills factors.
The technology industry is an important element of the Scottish economy, contributing more than £10 billion to GVA, employing over 100,000 people, and servicing international and domestic markets. Within these figures, software and ICT services accounts for more than 78,000 people with approximately 37,000 employed directly in the supply side of the industry, and the balance undertaking IT functions within other industries, it underpins
innovation, competitiveness and service in every sector.
It is therefore very encouraging to see that respondents to this survey reflect increasing confidence in the business environment and predict considerable growth for the year to come.
We very much hope you find value in this report. Do contact us if you have any particular questions, or would like further information on the survey.
