KLAMPENBORG, Denmark - April 1, 2013 - PRLog -- TBK Consult has released the “BECH Index” for 2012 showing the share of demand for IT related products and services worldwide. Even with the two main continents, America and Europe, still in recession, demand for software products continues to grow.

South America as a whole gained 11%, while China's growth slowed slightly with an increase of 18% in demand.

“Although the changes from 2009, when CIA defined a new basis for the numbers we use to calculate the index, clearly shows the shift away from the “old”  economies and to the “new” economies, we should not overlook the fact that the “old” economies still account for close to 75% of world demand. More than 200 countries share the remaining 25%. China now accounts for 5.11% of world demand, which has surpassed the UK's share and is champing on the heels of German demand. There continues to be a drive for European businesses to invest in BRIC  expansion, but there is real and deliverable opportunity within the EU for smaller firms who do not want the costs associated with “far-away” internationalisation," says TBK Consult CEO Hans Peter Bech.

The Middle East is showing a small increase, but the way the numbers are calculated plays in favour of oil producing countries. Demand has increased considerably in the Far East in countries such as Macau and Laos, but India still continues to dominate that continent. The African continent remains stable with 0,8% world demand, though demand in South Africa has dropped to 30%.

The BECH index is calculated and published annually based on the GDP and GDP per capita figures provided by the CIA World Factbook https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/
