Key Macro Risks For Tech Industry in 2023

The macro-environment saw a rollercoaster ride in 2022, one where
our Counterpoint Macro Index dropped from 106.17 to 82.88 between
January and November. Several factors contributed to the decline,
such as the war in Ukraine, high inflation, the possibility of a
global economic recession, and China’s strict COVID-Zero
policies.


Besides, interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve not only
slowed economic growth but also strengthened the US dollar, the
effects of which were particularly painful in emerging markets.
Technology firms that were previously thriving had to resort to
mass layoffs, spending cuts and downward earnings guidance in
preparation for a bleak economic outlook.

Moving into 2023, which of those macro risks will remain, and
which new risks should the tech firms watch out for? Counterpoint
Research analysts have voted on the top 10 macro risks that
companies should pay close attention to.

In the latest episode of The Counterpoint Podcast, host Matt Orf
is joined by Senior Analyst Yang Wang, based in Europe, and
Research Analyst Archie Zhang, based in China. We bring
on-the-ground and unique insights into the macro risks that
cannot be ignored. The topics discussed in the podcast range from
