2026年は、原材料価格高騰、人件費高騰によるインフレーション懸念、米国関税政策の影響などによって業績が悪化するSMBが増加する。さらに2025年のPC更新需要の反動もあり、2026年の国内SMBのIT支出はプラス成長ながら減速を予測する。しかし、SMBの中でも比較的企業規模の大きい企業では、生産性向上に加えて、ビジネスビジネスの取り組みが継続し、AI（Artificial Intelligence）などの最新テクノロジー採用が本格化する。

したがって、IDC Japan、Verticals & Cross Technologiesのシニアリサーチマネージャーである市村仁は、「ITサプライヤーは、SMBでもAIなどの最新テクノロジーの採用が本格化することから、人材育成、プラットフォーム整備、データ統合など各分野でSMBのAI活用が円滑に進むように支援を行うことが重要になる」と分析している。
