Global Offshore Software Development Market Definition

Offshore software development is the process of developing software by utilizing the services of a team located in a remote location. It gives the companies access to a skilled labor force, reducing costs and the time required to develop software. Mainly, offshore software development is a type of business process outsourcing where the service provider is based in a different country. The process consists of multiple phases such as definition, designing, development testing, and deployment.

The increasing deployment of cloud technology across different industries is driving the offshore software development market. However, the lack of awareness regarding the advantages of the usage of cloud technology may hinder the growth of the offshore software development market.

Global Offshore Software Development Market Overview

The high cost is a primary factor in software development, due to which businesses are increasingly offshoring their software development projects. The cost of completing the software development project on-site is around 60% higher than doing the same project at an offshore facility.

Offshore software development cost differs from country to country. The cost of development is dependent on several factors such as the cost of living in a particular country. The high living standard in European countries and the U.S. makes them the most expensive market for software development.

With thousands of offshore software development companies entering the market each year, the demand for developers is rising at a proportional rate. U.S. and India have a large number of software developers among all the countries. According to Github, there are approximately 5.8 million developers in India in 2021.

One of the major challenges in offshore software development is a constant communication gap. Due to poor communication, the offshore development team may not accurately understand the client’s exact requirement or the overall business strategies, leading to more errors in the development of software.

Cloud computing is expected to play a vital role in offshore software development and will play a crucial role in offering scalability and flexibility. These trends are estimated to propel the growth of the offshore software development market across the forecast period.
