Growth in Engineering Services and R&D Segment of Indian ITES Industry and Trends Impacting Skill Requirements
Engineering Services and R&D segment is worth over US $ 7.3 billion in exports and has witnessed a growth of 25% since 2004. This segment is expected to touch US $ 50 billion in revenues by 2020. Over 200 product-based multinational companies are known to be sourcing part of their product development requirements from their captive offshore centres in India or from third party vendors in the country. Range of services outsourced includes engineering and designing solutions across diverse industry verticals like telecommunications (30% of revenues), automotive (19%), aerospace (8%), construction, utilities and industrial design and research and development divisions of the leading high-tech companies.
Based on the trends witnessed in productivity and the likely growth potential of the IT and ITES industry, it is expected that the industry would result in an incremental employment of about 7.5 million persons directly by 2022.
The industry is also likely to see an increasing share of penetration from KPOs. While the BPO sector would contribute large volumes, the KPO sector would be a ?value play?. Companies would seek to increasingly move up the value chain with KPO offerings.
