Executive Summary

Market Overview

Kuwait IT spending is expected by BMI to increase from US$774mn in 2008 to around US$1.3bn in 2013. The Kuwait economy is projected to contract sharply in 2009 as a result mainly of the collapse in oil prices. There were reports in H208 of projects being scaled back in key sectors for IT projects such as oil and gas, construction and finance. Many companies, hit by slowdowns in key export markets and credit tightening, were looking to cut costs and letting replacement cycles stretch another year.

However, Kuwait has a number of advantages which should help to withstand the global economic headwinds. These include its relatively small but tech literate and wealthy population, which makes Kuwait an important regional testing ground for new products. Growing regional competition and opportunities, with the development of the Arab Free Trade Zone will encourage spending by SMEs. Kuwait is also a hub for the emerging Iraq market.

Despite a slowdown in 2009, the country will continue to be a lucrative market for information technology over the forecast period, as well as a convenient hub for the promising Iraq market. In H108 spending continued to grow quite robustly, with revenues from high oil prices managing to sustain a new wave of infrastructure investment. The government was in on the act, with new waves of new e-government initiatives launched in 2008, and an increasing number of state institutions offering online services.

Industry Developments

In 2008 the Kuwaiti Cabinet recently approved the transfer of the Central Agency for Information Technology (CAIT) to the authority of the Ministry of Communications. Established in 2006, CAIT has emerged as influential in the past two years as an active driver of e-government programmes, and also made recommendations on budget. The transfer to the Communications Ministry was part of a broader series of changes in governmental structures.

CAIT has led the drive to launch the Kuwaiti government’s new portal for e-services in 2008, making all government services available through a single site, and eventually over a mobile platform. With CAIT playing a co-ordinating role, Kuwait has ramped up its e-government efforts, rolling out a number of new services for citizens in 2008.

2008 saw an acceleration of projects from various state organisations. The Social Welfare Ministry, the Defence Ministry and Finance Ministry are recognised as particularly advanced. Despite such progress, big challenges remain to Kuwait’s e-development, particularly excessive bureaucracy and lagging education systems.
