Industry Overview

Sector structure/Market size

The Indian information technology industry has played a key role in putting India on the global

map. Thanks to the success of the IT industry, India is now a power to reckon with. According

to the National Association of Software and Service Companies (NASSCOM), the apex body for

software services in India, the revenue of the information technology sector has risen from 1.2

per cent of the gross domestic product (GDP) in FY 1997-98 to an estimated 5.8 per cent in FY

2008-09.

India's IT growth in the world is primarily dominated by IT software and services such as

Custom Application Development and Maintenance (CADM), System Integration, IT Consulting,

Application Management, Infrastructure Management Services, Software testing, Service-

oriented architecture and Web services.

Firstcall India Equity Advisors Pvt Ltd

As per NASSCOM's latest findings:

• Indian IT-BPO sector grew by 12 per cent in FY 2009 to reach US$ 71.7 billion in aggregate

revenue (including hardware). Of this, the software and services segment accounted for

US$ 59.6 billion.

• IT-BPO exports (including hardware exports) grew by 16 per cent from US$ 40.9 billion in

FY 2007-08 to US$ 47.3 billion in FY 2008-09.

Moreover, according to a study by Springboard Research, the Indian IT services market is

estimated to remain the fastest growing in the Asia-Pacific region with a CAGR of 18.6 per

cent.

Despite the uncertainty in the global economy, the top three IT majors— Infosys, TCS and

Wipro—have seen revenue growth from all important sources of income: from the North

American and European regions, in the financial services vertical and from application

maintenance and development (ADM) offerings between fiscal years 2008 and 2009.

At present, there are 60 million Internet users in the country. According to Manufacturer’s

Association of IT (MAIT), the number of active Internet entities rose to 8.6 million by March

2009 from 7.2 million units in March 2008.

MAIT has outlined 'Goal 511', an ambitious target that talks about 500 million Internet users,

100 million broadband connections, and 100 million connected devices by 2012.

A latest study by MAIT estimated that the total PC sale in India is likely to grow by 7 per cent in

2009-10, with total sales expected to cross 7.3 million units.

Outsourcing

A research by Gartner forecasts India as the undisputed leader in the outsourcing space in the

year 2008. India's most prized resource is its readily available technical work force. India has

the second largest English-speaking scientific professionals in the world, second only to the US.

It is estimated that India has over 4 million technical workers, over 1,832 educational

institutions and polytechnics, which train more than 67,785 computer software professionals

every year. The enormous base of skilled manpower is a major draw for global customers.

According to NASSCOM, software and services exports (including exports of IT services, BPO,

engineering services and R&D and software products) reached US$ 47 billion in FY 2008-09,

contributing nearly 78 per cent to the total software and services revenue of US$ 59.6 billion.

India continues to be the most preferred destination for companies looking to offshore their IT

and back-office functions. It also retains its low-cost advantage and is among the most

financially attractive locations when viewed in combination with the business environment it

offers and the availability of skilled people, according to global management consultancy AT

Kearney.

India has retained its numerous Uno position even as some other well-established outsourcing

hubs dropped in their attractiveness to be replaced by new emerging destinations in AT

Kearney’s latest ranking of the top outsourcing destinations across the globe. The top three

countries in the 2009 Global Services Location Index (GSLI) remain the same — India, China

and Malaysia.

Domestic Markets

India's domestic market has also become a force to reckon with, as the existing IT

infrastructure evolves both in terms of technology and depth of penetration.

According to NASSCOM, domestic IT market (including hardware) reached US$ 24.3 billion in

FY 2008-09 as against US$ 23.1 billion in FY 2007-08, a growth of 5.3 per cent.

India Inc's demand for IT services and products has bolstered growth in the domestic sector

with deal sizes going up remarkably and contracts worth US$ 50 million-US$ 100 million up for

grabs.

The market for enterprise networking equipment in India is estimated to grow from US$ 1

billion in 2008 to US$ 1.7 billion by 2012, recording a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR)

of 15 per cent during this period, according to a study by Springboard Research.

Investments

• Infosys Technologies Ltd will invest US$ 70 million over the next three quarters of the

current financial year towards increasing its sales and marketing staff overseas, building

new capabilities and hiring local resources for its international centres.

• The Andhra Pradesh Government expects the IT-related SEZs and Software Technology

Parks of India (STPI) in the State to receive about US$ 3.27 billion investments in the next

five years.

• HCL Technologies has entered into a strategic partnership with South Africa’s UCS Group.

As part of the all-cash deal, HCL will acquire UCS’s enterprise solutions SAP practice

focused on the retail sector for US$ 7.7 million.

Rural Penetration

According to a report of the Internet and Mobile Association of India (IAMAI), rural India has

3.3 million active internet users. Since rural India was mapped for the first time, the year-on-

year growth of internet users in rural India could not be estimated.

The research also notes there are 5.5 million people who claim to have used Internet at some

point in time.

Government Initiatives

• The government set up the National Taskforce on Information Technology and Software

Development with the objective of framing a long term National IT Policy for the country.

• Enactment of the Information Technology Act, which provides a legal framework to

facilitate electronic commerce and electronic transactions.

• The government-led National e-Governance Programme, has played an important role in

increasing internet penetration in rural India.

Road Ahead

The Indian information technology sector continues to be one of the sunshine sectors of the

Indian economy showing rapid growth and promise.

According to a report prepared by McKinsey for NASSCOM, the exports component of the

Indian industry is expected to reach US$ 175 billion in revenue by 2020. The domestic

component will contribute US$ 50 billion in revenue by 2020. Together, the export and

domestic markets are likely to bring in US$ 225 billion in revenue, as new opportunities

emerge in areas such as public sector and healthcare, and as geographies including BRIC and

Japan opt for greater outsourcing.
