ICT Market Tendencies

Canada ICT industry
The ICT sector makes a substantial contribution to Canada's GDP. In 2018, the sector's GDP was $86.6 billion (in 2012 constant dollars), and accounted for 4.5% of national GDP. Strong growth continued in 2018 as the sector grew by 3.7%, outpacing the Canadian economy growth of 2.3% by over a percentage point.*
A key point of the Canada ICT industry is its high dependency with US, where more than 70% of goods are exported.
Market size?
It is quite difficult to estimate the number of IT partners in Canada as boundaries between IT and other sectors become more an more fuzzy but if we take companies doing more than US$ 350K in IT solutions or having more than 50% of their revenue from IT services or solutions the total number of partners is estimated between 25,000 and 40,000 partners.
