IT services in AsiaPac to grow by 6.6% to USD205 billion

And the market is rebounding with growth likely to top 9% in 2015, says Ovum.

Hansa Iyengar, Senior Analyst with Ovum’s Market Intelligence team said: “Enterprise customers throughout the region who had curtailed spending and put many transformative projects on the back-burner during the downturn have started investing for growth again.

A large proportion of the growth will be driven by applications and consulting engagements with enterprises aiming to upgrade, transform, and modernize their IT environments in order to support the rapid expansion being experienced in the majority of the region’s economies,”.

Meanwhile, Ovum has also released a new market share analysis** of the top 30 IT services vendors in the region. Fujitsu retains the number one slot in terms of IT services revenue in 2010, with a market share of 13.9%.

Global vendors continue to be major representatives in most markets across the region, with the exception of Japan, which is still dominated by the large domestic providers. This highlights the fact that there still exists a “home-bred” tendency, but with an increasing desire to learn and engage with established global providers to support enterprises’ expansionary plans.

Many of the regional and local players continue to display strong growth in core areas of expertise and industry-specific offerings, especially in areas such as mining, financial services and telecommunications.

“A key trend worth noting, is the growth in leveraging consulting services to define and align strategic plans and longer-term operational roadmaps, prior to committing to multi-year strategic engagements” concluded Jens Butler, Principal Analyst with Ovum’s IT Services team.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
