It was the seventh consecutive quarter of sequential growth for the combined market. Compared with the fourth quarter, the combined market was up 2 percent sequentially.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cFirst-quarter market demand is cause for optimism,\u201d said Steve Hall, president and chief AI officer of ISG. \u201cCloud and AI continue to drive transformation across sectors, and global capability centers are accelerating product development and hybrid delivery adoption, while helping enterprises manage geopolitical risk and advance speed and efficiency. Even with uncertainty in the macro environment, enterprises remain focused on cost resiliency, productivity and platform modernization. Demand for cost optimization enabled by AI remains high, with more than $18 billion of project awards over the trailing 12 months.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nStill, the market is heading into a period of increased volatility, Hall said. \u201cThe introduction of sweeping tariffs and potential retaliatory measures has raised short-term uncertainty\u2014particularly related to discretionary IT spend. Spending on applications looks to be the most immediate pressure point, and large, capital-intensive initiatives like SAP S\/4HANA migrations are particularly exposed right now.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p><b>Q1 Results by Segment<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nThe as-a-service (XaaS) segment advanced 30 percent versus the prior year, to a record $18.4 billion, and was up 5 percent versus the fourth quarter. It was the fourth straight quarter XaaS grew by double digits year over year, even as Q1 growth slowed 290 basis points from the fourth quarter.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nWithin XaaS, infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) generated a record $13.9 billion of ACV, up 34 percent versus the prior year, but up only 4 percent from the fourth quarter. The big three hyperscalers (AWS, Google Cloud and Azure) accounted for 75 percent of IaaS ACV in Q1 and as a group posted 48 percent year-over-year growth, though, like the overall market, growth decelerated sequentially.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe software-as-a-service (SaaS) segment, meanwhile, posted its best quarter ever, with ACV of $4.5 billion, up 19 percent over the prior year\u2014its fourth consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nManaged services ACV remained above $10 billion for a tenth straight quarter, posting $10.5 billion of ACV in the first quarter, up 2 percent from the prior year, although it was down 2 percent versus the fourth quarter. A total of 713 managed services contracts were awarded in the first quarter, down 2 percent from last year. Included in that total were six mega-deals valued at $100 million or more, compared with four such deals in the same period last year.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nIn a sign that discretionary spending may be under pressure, the number of smaller contracts\u2014those valued at $5 million to $10 million\u2014was down 6 percent from the prior year and down 13 percent sequentially.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nWithin managed services, IT outsourcing (ITO) ACV reached $7.8 billion, up 12 percent versus the prior year, its highest quarterly growth since the fourth quarter of 2023. The ITO segment was fueled by rising demand for infrastructure services, up nearly 60 percent versus a weak first quarter last year, and application services, up 12 percent from last year.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nBusiness process outsourcing (BPO) ACV, meanwhile, was $1.5 billion, down 39 percent, its biggest quarterly decline in over a decade, with all areas of BPO down by double digits compared with the strong prior-year period. For the trailing 12 months, BPO is down 5 percent compared with the previous 12-month period. Engineering, research and development (ER&amp;D) services, previously part of BPO but now broken out separately for the first time, advanced 42 percent, to a record $1.1 billion of ACV, its fifth straight quarter of double-digit growth.\n<\/p>\n<p><b>2025 Forecast<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nDespite the solid first quarter, heightened uncertainty from trade policy, geopolitical tensions and evolving regulations are beginning to weigh on second-quarter forecasts, Hall said.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cClients are lengthening decision cycles, holding discretionary budgets, and re-evaluating capital-intensive projects\u2014particularly in industries like manufacturing, retail, automotive and financial services,\u201d said Hall.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nHall noted that ISG\u2019s forecasts for market growth in 2025 are based on two scenarios. In the first scenario, the tariff environment stabilizes by midyear, and the market sees faster decision-making in the second half. Under that scenario, ISG forecasts XaaS growth of 18 percent for 2025, unchanged from its January forecast, fueled by AI, cloud, and consumption-based scaling. ISG\u2019s forecast for managed services growth would be 1.3 percent, down from its January forecast of 4.5 percent, as delayed discretionary projects begin to convert later in the year.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nIn the second scenario, tariffs would extend through the third quarter or beyond, compounded by immigration enforcement, prevailing wage issues or retaliatory digital services taxes in the EU. \u201cUnder this scenario, we would anticipate a longer pullback in discretionary demand and larger delays in award conversion,\u201d Hall said. \u201cIn this more bearish case, XaaS growth for the year would moderate to 15 percent, while managed services spending would be negative 2.4 percent, a nearly 700 basis-point swing from our January forecast.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nSaid Hall: \u201cWe remain cautious in our base case, but not pessimistic. The signals from Q1 are fundamentally strong. The shift we\u2019re seeing is not one of declining demand, but one of delayed commitment.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p><b>About the ISG Index\u2122<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nThe ISG Index\u2122 is recognized as the authoritative source for marketplace intelligence on the global technology and business services industry.
