Breaking the trillion yuan mark! China's service outsourcing growth momentum will continue.
在全球经济加速融合与数字化转型的浪潮中,服务外包产业宛如一面精准的"晴雨表",映照着一个国家或地区经济活力与创新能力的强弱。凭借着庞大而优质的人力资源、完备且多元的产业体系,以及不断创新突破的科技实力,年中国服务外包产业强势出圈,合同额一举突破万亿元大关。这一数字,不仅是简单的金额累加,更是中国在全球服务外包赛道上迅猛发展的实力见证,为中国经济高质量发展注入了澎湃动力。
Recently released data from the Ministry of Commerce shows that Chinese enterprises undertook service outsourcing contracts worth billions of yuan last year, with an execution value of billions of yuan, representing year-on-year growth of .% and .% respectively. Among these, the value of offshore service outsourcing contracts undertaken was billions of yuan, with an execution value of billions of yuan, showing year-on-year growth of .% and .% respectively.
In this regard, Zheng Wei, a deputy researcher at the China Service Outsourcing Research Center, stated that overall, the contract value and execution value of China's service outsourcing industry, as well as the contract value and execution value of offshore business, have all achieved significant growth this year. It is particularly noteworthy that the contract value of service outsourcing undertaken by Chinese enterprises has surpassed the trillion yuan mark, marking another important milestone in the development of China's service outsourcing industry.
From the perspective of business structure, in the year, Chinese enterprises undertook offshore information technology outsourcing (ITO), business process outsourcing (BPO), and knowledge process outsourcing (KPO) with executed amounts of billion yuan, billion yuan, and billion yuan respectively, showing year-on-year growth of .%, .%, and .%. Among these, information technology research and development services, design services, and maintenance services grew rapidly, with executed amounts of billion yuan, billion yuan, and billion yuan respectively, increasing by .%, .%, and .% year-on-year.
"设计服务、信息技术研发服务、维修维护服务等离岸服务外包业务增速显著,显示出我国服务外包产业正向高附加值、高技术含量、高科技领域转型升级。云计算、大数据、人工智能等新兴技术的应用推动市场的爆发式增长,也已成为我国服务外包产业的新增长极。"郑伟说。
From a regional development perspective, the Yangtze River Delta and the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region demonstrated robust performance. In that year, the Yangtze River Delta region secured offshore service outsourcing contracts worth XX billion yuan, with executed contracts amounting to XX billion yuan, marking year-on-year growth rates of X.X% and X.X%, respectively. These figures accounted for X.X% and X.X% of the national totals. Meanwhile, the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region executed offshore service outsourcing contracts worth XX billion yuan, achieving a year-on-year growth of X.X%.
Zheng Wei believes that the main reasons are as follows: first, the Yangtze River Delta and the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region have always been key areas for the development of China's service outsourcing industry, with a solid industrial foundation and abundant enterprise resources; second, the strong momentum of economic growth in these two regions has played a leading and driving role in the service outsourcing industry.

In recent years, the international landscape of global service outsourcing has exhibited a complex and multifaceted trend, presenting both new opportunities and challenges for China's service outsourcing industry. On one hand, while the global economy has gradually recovered from the impact of the pandemic, geopolitical conflicts, trade protectionism, and other unstable factors persist, creating uncertainties in international market demand. However, with the accelerated global push toward digital transformation, the demand for IT services, digital solutions, and other outsourcing services continues to rise, offering vast market potential for the development of China's service outsourcing industry. On the other hand, emerging economies are increasingly gaining prominence in the global service outsourcing market. Traditional powerhouses like India and the Philippines continue to consolidate their advantages, while emerging markets such as Vietnam and Malaysia are actively expanding their service outsourcing sectors, leveraging competitive labor costs to participate in international competition.
Under such international circumstances, can China's service outsourcing industry continue its growth momentum and achieve further success? Zheng Wei's answer is affirmative. In his view, in the coming year, China's service outsourcing industry is expected to achieve new and significant breakthroughs in several key areas, with four aspects deserving particular attention:
Firstly, the emerging digital service outsourcing will accelerate its development. From a global perspective, with the rapid adoption of new-generation information technologies, the transformation of the service outsourcing industry towards digitalization and intelligence has become an inevitable trend. China's development of emerging digital service outsourcing started relatively early, and with the nation's strong emphasis on the transformation and upgrading of service outsourcing, it has accurately grasped future development trends. This has laid a solid foundation for enhancing the overall competitiveness of China's service outsourcing industry and further expanding its share in the international market.
Secondly, it brings opportunities for the development of service outsourcing. As a high-level global free trade agreement, it represents a significant boon for China's service outsourcing industry. The scope, willingness, and level of cooperation between China and countries within the region are expected to see substantial improvement. In the coming years, it is poised to act as an accelerator for promoting international cooperation in service outsourcing within the region.
Third, the effects of industrial transformation and upgrading will become more evident. In the coming year, China's service outsourcing industry will see further structural optimization. The proportion of business with higher knowledge content, technical sophistication, and added value will continue to rise. High-end service outsourcing sectors, represented by digital technologies, new energy technology R&D, pharmaceutical and biotech R&D, maintenance services, and industrial design, will experience accelerated growth.
