2026 Forecast: US Offers 3x More Growth Than Europe for EU Tech

Often we hear that foreign businesses entering the US are careful when it comes to establishing their sales and business footprint. 

A phenomenon we truly understand given the uncertainties we felt with tariffs and trade inequalities. However, under this trade disguise shines a welcoming outlook for the economy in the United States. 

Why it matters?

Looking at EU GDP forecasts we look at a mere 1.2-1.5% growth in the Eurozone while the USA target a level of more than 2.5% according to Goldman Sachs’s latest forecast. 

Comparatively, Austria is forecasted to grow a slow 0.9% in 2026 which means that America presents almost triple the business potential than Central Europe. 

This means if your business wants (and probably needs) to grow, the center stage is no longer the European home market.

Which other markets are expected to shine?

With the USA being a top growth market, keep in mind that they are no longer on top of the food chain. Emerging markets like Asia or Africa have a hefty growth path forecasted in 2026. The IMF periodically updates their GDP forecasts on a handy online dashboard so that you can gather  more information on the go.

Now is the time to act and expand your vision outside of your well known core markets and tackle the USA which still offers a more favorable and proven business environment than newcomer markets like China or India. Reach out to us at StateMinded for hands-on guidance
