For the period from 2024 to 2028, the forecasted contribution of computer hardware productivity to capital growth in the US shows a consistent, though slight, decline from 0.18 percentage points in 2024 and 2025 to 0.16 percentage points by 2028. In 2023, the percentage point contribution stood unchanged at 0.18. Over the five-year forecast period, this results in a steady compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of -1.7%, indicating a potential downward trend in computer hardware's influence on capital growth.
Looking ahead, key factors to monitor include advancements in emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning, shifts in consumer demand, and potential changes in regulatory policies that may further impact the growth trajectory of computer hardware and its productivity contribution. Close attention to these elements can provide crucial insights into the future dynamics of this sector.
