It also predicts a year-over-year (YoY) rate in 2023 of 19.3% in comparison to 15.1% in 2022, as spending continues to accelerate.
"Digital-native businesses are defined by their use of new and emerging technologies to differentiate themselves from the competition,” says Seng Keong Low, research director for Asia/Pacific Digital Native Business at IDC.
IDC says by aggressively leveraging new and emerging technologies, platform services, and marketplaces, DNBs grow and scale fast, disrupting industries and creating new markets.
"As macroeconomic headwinds loom, DNBs will accelerate investments in technologies such as cloud-based solutions, to improve efficiency and support DNBs in their path to profitability and resiliency."
