Cost and Productivity analysis of Publishing BPO industry

With current revenues around half a billion dollars and presence of more than 100 vendors, the Indian publishing offshoring industry is quite mature. The continuous influx of entrants in the emerging publishing niches as well as in the traditional areas of STM has led to increased pricing pressures in the market, with publishers aiming to make the most from the ‘oversupply’.

Offshoring has been driven by the ubiquitous ‘cost advantage’ offered in a lower cost location. In a scenario of increasing competition, dollar depreciation and maturity in existing markets, publishing BPOs are facing escalating margin pressures. This research note assesses the strategic imperatives for service providers in light of these challenges.

The report is designed to help:

Publishing BPOs to assess future imperatives
Outsourcing consultants
Researchers and others looking for detailed insights
The above report is based on secondary data as well as interviews with key people at various outsourcing companies and industry experts.

Over the last few years, the Philippines has been increasingly gaining traction as an offshoring destination, especially in niches like call centers, medical transcription, animation, publishing and legal services.
 
ValueNotes has been researching and analyzing the Indian publishing offshoring industry since 2005. With over 100 service providers, some of them with decades of experience, the Indian publishing offshoring industry is quite mature. While India commands a lion’s share in publishing outsourcing, especially in the STM (scientific, technical and medical) segment, service providers in countries like Philippines and China have been around for quite some time. With growing challenges and emerging competition, Indian vendors cannot assume that their positioning and competitiveness remains unchallenged. In this paper, we have researched the publishing outsourcing landscape in the Philippines, and compared it with India.
