Macroeconomic Factors Impact

GARTNER INC · 2026-08-04 · Importance 17 · Surprise 24

Larger enterprises are more exposed because they are globally distributed, while companies subject to tariffs face tighter cost constraints. Gartner expects this environment to persist to some extent and is adapting its Business and Technology Insights transformation to support clients under continued uncertainty.
