NEW YORK, May 19, 2026 /CNW/ -- Market News Updates News Commentary - As more businesses move their operations online, demand for digital marketing, cloud services, and outsourced IT support continues growing across almost every industry. Companies are spending more on SEO, website development, branding, and online content tools to reach new customers, run more efficiently, and stay competitive in today's fast-changing digital world. With businesses continuing to prioritize technology and online growth, the digital services sector is expected to remain one of the biggest long-term growth markets over the next decade.  Several publicly traded companies are operating in these broader industries as digital marketing, cloud infrastructure, managed IT services, and online business solutions that include:  BigBear.ai Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: BBAI), Sky Century Investment, Inc. (OTCID: SKYI), IQSTEL Inc. (NASDAQ: IQST), Digi International (NASDAQ: DGII), Digital Turbine (NASDAQ: APPS).

Additionally, the industries supporting Sky Century Investment are seeing strong long-term expansion as businesses continue shifting toward outsourced digital marketing, cloud infrastructure, managed IT services, and online customer engagement platforms. Companies across nearly every sector are increasing spending on SEO, web development, digital branding, and cloud-based business operations in order to stay competitive in an increasingly online-first economy. According to Grand View Research, the global managed services market was valued at more than $401 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach approximately $847 billion by 2033, reflecting continued demand for outsourced technology and infrastructure support services.

The digital marketing and online content distribution sectors are also expected to remain major growth drivers over the next several years. Businesses are rapidly increasing investments in SEO optimization, audience analytics, automated advertising systems, and syndicated digital content as competition for online visibility intensifies. Research and Markets projects the global digital marketing industry will grow from roughly $11 billion in 2025 to more than $18.5 billion by 2030, fueled by AI-driven advertising tools, automation, and expanding online commerce. At the same time, major technology companies continue pouring billions into digital advertising infrastructure and customer engagement platforms, reinforcing the long-term growth outlook for companies operating in this space.

Cloud services and managed infrastructure solutions are also becoming increasingly critical for small and mid-sized businesses seeking scalable, lower-cost technology operations. Grand View Research estimates the global cloud managed services market could surpass $305 billion by 2030 with annual growth approaching 15%, driven by rising cloud adoption, cybersecurity needs, and the growing complexity of IT environments. Analysts also expect managed network services, data infrastructure management, and outsourced technical support to remain high-growth categories throughout the decade as companies continue accelerating digital transformation initiatives worldwide. These industry trends create a favorable backdrop for smaller technology-focused firms like SKYI that operate in digital services, online infrastructure, and business support solutions.

To lead the new subsidiary, IQSTEL has appointed Jorge Enrique Becerra as CEO.

For more than a decade, IQSTEL has built a commercial platform serving over 600 of the largest telecom operators around the world, whose networks serve approximately 2.3 billion subscribers in aggregate.

As telecom operators worldwide increasingly seek to grow Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) by offering more value-added services to enterprise customers, governments, and personal consumers, IQSTEL is uniquely positioned to become their preferred one-stop strategic partner for next-generation digital solutions.

SmartSense by Digi, part of Digi International (NASDAQ: DGII) and a leading global provider of Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity solutions, recently announced the launch of Assure, an industry-first compliance and quality audit solution designed to help multi-location enterprises digitize inspections, strengthen accountability, and drive continuous operational improvement.

"While many audit technologies digitize inspections, they stop short of ensuring execution on follow-up actions," said Guy Yehiav, President of SmartSense at Digi. "Assure addresses this gap as the first solution of its kind to use advanced technology to automatically generate follow-up task lists from audit failures, with specific guided actions, as well as provide auditor-level and location-level accountability reporting, and embed audits into daily operational workflows, rather than treating them as a standalone process. This system of accountability ensures every finding drives action, every action is tracked, and every location consistently delivers on the brand promise. People want to do the right thing; they just need better guidance."
