The IT services market held the dominant share of the IT and BPO Services Market in 2025.

Based on the service type, the market is segmented into IT services, BPO services, and engineering & R&D services. Among these, the IT services market held the dominant share of the market in 2025. This is because IT services are the base of enterprise digital transformation, including cloud, application development, infrastructure, and cybersecurity.

Also, dominance is further enhanced by the ongoing modernization of existing systems and increased investment in AI and data analytics.

For example, on April 24, 2025, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), a global leader in IT services, consulting, and business solutions, was doubling down on its commitment to India’s digital growth, with the launch of three India-focused offerings that are sovereign by design, secure by default, and sustainable for the future.

The nearshore segment is expected to grow with a significant CAGR during the forecast period (2026-2034.

Based on the outsourcing type, the market is segmented into onshore, offshore, and nearshore. Among these, the nearshore segment is expected to grow with a significant CAGR during the forecast period (2026-2034). This segment is majorly driven by factors such as time zone fit, regulatory proximity, and improved coordination compared to the traditional offshore model. This boosts service quality and responsiveness, particularly in complex, customer-facing operations. With global companies' preference for agility and risk diversification, nearshore models are becoming more popular, with hybrid delivery strategies. Moreover, the companies are expanding into nearshore regions to strengthen the global delivery chain and diversify operational risks. For example, on January 14, 2026, Fusion CX, headquartered in Kolkata, India, a global customer experience (CX) services provider, announced the acquisition of Skycom BPO, an El Salvador–based nearshore BPO company with delivery operations across Latin America. The acquisition adds approximately USD 25 million in annualized topline revenue to Fusion CX.
