CHANNEL LEADERSHIP SURVEY 2021

For over a decade now the “Channel Leadership Survey” (CLS) has been published by VARINDIA annually to understand the market potential and gather information on the performances of different vendors in the last financial year. This study is also conducted to highlight the demand supply gap while shedding some light on the feedback from the channel on their favourite Vendor and the overall market dynamics. It gets published in September (Anniversary special issue) every year. 

For the convenience of the readers, the industry is categorized into three segments i.e. hardware, software and services. These three segments are further classified into 40 categories. Each category has several players who get identified as leading player in this survey.

The Channel is in an evolving stage, which would have been difficult to decipher a decade back. VARINDIA while keeping track of this evolution also rate the experience of the channel on the leading technology OEMs in the country, collating their experiences that they when working with different vendors. Channel partners are asked to rate their vendors across the 10 most important areas of channel management. The winners get recognised in the STAR NITE Awards (SNA) every year. The 20th edition of SNA (Star Nite Awards) is slated to happen on the 26thof November in New Delhi.

The domestic PC market continued to grow in Q2 2021, the strengthening of demand seen because of extension of learning from home and work from home. Total shipments of desktops, notebooks and workstations combined increased 50.5 per cent year-over-year. The rebound was driven by Notebooks that continued to hold three-fourths of the total share.Online buying will continue to play an important role as a result of which vendors would need to realign their retail strategy while also keeping the channel business in mind.  

With increased use of IoT and AI devices, new security challenges continue to arise. With cyber security threats today becoming even more sophisticated and complicated, the market is poised to grow in big numbers. Cybersecurity will remain a top priority for most organizations in 2021 and the years ahead. With the rise in digital adoption, which is in turn leading to increased online attacks, the market is estimated to reach close to 290 billion rupees by 2025.

Technology has played a crucial role during the entire COVID-19 pandemic, by managing to keep the society functional even in the times of lockdowns and quarantines. And these technologies may have a long-lasting impact beyond COVID-19. Technology has emerged as a dominant enabler across many sectors like Healthcare, Manufacturing, Energy, Agriculture, and Telecommunication. Cloud computing will continue to be an essential target for organizations looking for increased scalability, business continuity and cost efficiency in 2021 and beyond.

However,the global semiconductor chip shortage is going to continue for sometime. According to a recent report by Nomura, spread of the delta variant amid the low vaccination rates in many ASEAN economies and China’s zero-tolerance Covid strategy have prompted governments to impose restrictions and order factory or port closures.

OEMs continue to make improvements to processes to increase simplicity and have shown commitment to growing revenue through the channel.Let’s have a look at how the OEMs have been able to penetrate into the industry with the help of their VARs –

Even as organizations begin to look at bringing employees back to the office, many plan to maintain a remote or hybrid work model. With this in mind, CISOs must carefully consider the following three strategies when they secure these new hybrid environments – Establishing Establish Zero Trust Access (ZTA), Converging Security &Networking, and Considering Future Needs.”
