IT Spending Forecast, 3Q25 Update: How The Intelligence Supercycle Will Transform IT Buying

According to the latest Gartner IT spend forecast, the high-tech world stands on the brink of a seismic shift. The intelligence supercycle, driven by AI, adaptive agents and data-centric innovation, is rewriting the rules for value creation, business growth and IT spending. Traditional IT spending models, built on episodic capital investments and software-driven value chains, are being upended. As enterprises move from purchasing tools to investing in answers and outcomes, the market is shifting toward continuous operating expenditure (opex) models, compressing margins and disrupting long-standing business models. The intelligence supercycle is not just a technology trend—it is a fundamental transformation of how technology is bought, sold and valued.
