In the world of technology, the year 2023 left both moments of joy and challenges. Now, all eyes are on the 2024 horizon.

The new year is expected to be a positive period for the industry, but there are also many unknowns that still need to be resolved. All this in a particularly unstable political, geostrategic, and economic context. From the expected rebound in the device market to the impact of the economy on technology investment beyond artificial intelligence, 2024 is expected to be a year full of big headlines in the technology space across the board.

The importance of data today

One of the most prominent themes for the coming year will be the central role of data in the technology industry. Several experts agree that data will be one of the main drivers of technological progress in 2024. In 2022, the big data industry attracted an estimated $154.9 billion in investment worldwide, according to ResearchAndMarkets data. Moreover, steady and pronounced growth is expected in the coming years, reaching $353.9 billion by 2030.

For Javier Oliver, partner and manager of Tyris Corp, a company specialized in artificial intelligence solutions, “we are already in the era of data,” and the reality is comparable to previous eras such as the era of computers in the 1990s or the era of the Internet and e-commerce in the 2000s. However, Oliver warns that many companies still have basic unresolved issues and will need to upgrade their data storage infrastructure and processing equipment in order to mature in this area in the coming years.

Investment in technological infrastructure

Another trend that is expected to continue to mark the technology sector is investment in technological infrastructure by companies. Over the last few years, there has been a steady and uninterrupted growth in investment in information technology (IT) and technological infrastructure. Therefore, it is logical to think that the budgets allocated to these areas will increase even more in 2024.

While these are just some of the most prominent trends expected in 2024, it will undoubtedly be a period full of technological changes and challenges. Advances in the use of data and investment in technology infrastructure promise to have a major impact on various sectors, driving digital transformation and innovation in the industry. A dizzying and exciting technological future is already in the offing, and we can only wait and see how these trends will develop in the coming years. Stay connected because the road to 2024 is full of great expectations.
