IT spending could amount to $3.4 trillion (£2 trillion) over the next 12 months, according to a representative from the firm.
Richard Gordon, research vice-president at Gartner, explained that its analysts upwardly revised their forecast for the year after seeing predictions improve regarding the value of the dollar.
He explained: "Much of the increase in our revised 2010 forecast can be attributed to a projected decline in the value of the US dollar compared to 2009."
If the company's predictions become reality then it will mean a 4.6 per cent increase in spending internationally, which is a step up from the 2009, during which the figure declined by the same amount.
This week, a survey by Gartner was published which indicated that chief information officers will have a similar level of resources available to them in 2010 as they did in 2005.
