Russia's IT Market to Surge 10% in 2026
28 Nov
Summary
- Russian IT market poised for 10% expansion in 2026.
- Software and IT services will remain primary growth drivers.
- Limited accelerator availability and complex compliance pose challenges.

The Russian IT market is anticipated to experience a robust 10% expansion in 2026, following a projected slower growth of 3% in 2025. This forecast, from T1 IT holding, suggests a business transition from fragmented implementations to scalable architectural solutions and managed services, emphasizing efficiency in IT investments through standardization and platform development.
While software and IT services are expected to lead this growth, with an estimated 4% increase in 2025 and 9% in 2026, challenges persist. The market faces limitations due to the availability of high-power racks and accelerators, alongside increasingly stringent data and AI compliance requirements.
The IT equipment segment, after a potential 10% decline in 2025 due to prior overdemand, is expected to rebound with 8% growth in 2026. This recovery is supported by a gradual shift towards domestic production, indicating a strengthening national IT manufacturing base.
