Business Environment

Businesses globally are outsourcing a growing proportion of their business processes to streamline their organizations, focus on core operations, create flexibility, benefit from best-in-class process execution and thereby increase shareholder returns. More significantly, many of these businesses are outsourcing to offshore locations such as India to access a high quality and cost-effective workforce.

The global business process outsourcing industry is large and growing rapidly. According to International Data Corporation, or IDC, the global business process outsourcing market was $422 billion in 2005 and is projected to grow at a 10.9% compound annual growth rate from 2004 through 2009 to $641 billion. In comparison, IDC forecasts the information technology services market (excluding business process outsourcing) to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 6.0% over this same period, from $417 billion to $553 billion. This data implies that the business process outsourcing market is not only growing at nearly twice the rate of that of information technology services, but also is projected to surpass it in size by 2006.

The offshore business process outsourcing industry is growing at a significantly faster rate than the overall global business process outsourcing industry. The NASSCOM-McKinsey report estimates that the offshore business process outsourcing market will grow at a 37.0% compound annual growth rate, from $11.4 billion in revenue in fiscal 2005 to $55.0 billion in revenue in fiscal 2010. The same report estimates that the total value of business processes that could have been provided by offshore business process outsourcing providers in fiscal 2005 represents an addressable market of approximately $120 billion to $150 billion. NASSCOM has identified retail banking, insurance, travel and hospitality and automobile manufacturing as the industries with the greatest potential for offshore outsourcing.
