China's Diminishing Offshore Role

Market Demand Does Not Match Government And Service Provider Expectations

by John C. McCarthy

with Christine Ferrusi Ross, Francesca Bartolomey, Allison Thresher


Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

When Forrester first looked at China's offshore and global delivery model (GDM) role nearly two years ago, the country was widely viewed as the key challenger to India for offshore supremacy. However, our latest research shows that to date the market has not taken off as expected. While there continues to be demand from Japan and multinationals with operations in China, the offshore business from the US and Europe has been slow to materialize. In fact, China's percentage of GDM resources for the top services firms like Accenture has dropped, while India and the Philippines have seen far greater investment.
