According to the Global TPI Index which measures commercial outsourcing contracts with a minimum value. “the Asia-Pacific market saw TCV grow by 55 percent over the same quarter last year,” The global decline in outsourcing, Indian service providers like Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) and Infosys have reported strong revenue and profit growth for the second quarter, as they are seeing a surge in demand for their services.

Keppel said, A stepping up of global outsourcing business is expected in the second half of the year, as current contract pipelines suggest an improvement in global TCV for the remainder of the year.
The TPI said there is no indication that the Americas will return to the “glory days” of outsourcing. In contrast, growth in EMEA and Asia-Pacific will continue, though there could be some blips in China and Europe, it added. This is likely to hit Indian providers who are still dependent on the Americas for about 60 percent of their revenue. Many of them are trying to expand their operations in Asia Pacific, particularly China, and in Europe.
