TechMarketView Research Theme 2025 - Sink or Sprint. A person in a suit running through water away from the camera, trying not to sink.We are excited to launch TechMarketView's research theme for 2025: Sink or Sprint.

Each year our theme captures the essence of what we believe will shape the tech market in the months ahead. Our 2025 theme – Sink or Sprint – reflects the critical junction at which organisations now find themselves, where swift technological advancement has become fundamental to survival.

The economic landscape adds particular urgency to this dynamic. While the Office for Budget Responsibility forecasts modest growth for 2024 and 2025, organisations face mounting pressure to maximise this window of opportunity before more challenging conditions emerge from 2026 onwards. This pressure intensifies with recent government changes to labour laws and associated costs, pushing businesses to seriously consider technology-led solutions.

We are witnessing organisations take a more measured approach to their technology investments, particularly in AI and GenAI deployment. The focus has shifted from experimentation to execution, with businesses demanding clear evidence that their technological investments deliver tangible financial returns. Those who have already established robust digital foundations find themselves well-positioned to accelerate, while others risk falling irretrievably behind.

The next twelve months will see organisations focus intently on transforming their early technology investments into measurable business value. Success will require not just speed, but precision – choosing the right use cases, deploying appropriate tools, and ensuring robust security measures. External partners will prove crucial in this journey, providing the expertise needed to drive value from emerging technologies at pace.
