Report: China’s service-outsourcing industry takes off

Recent years have seen an increased focus on China’s emergence as an outsourcing market. According to the National Ministry of Commerce, 60,247 service-outsourcing contracts were signed in 2009, a year-on-year increase of 142.6 percent. The contract value of offshore outsourcing reached USD14.8 billion during the year, an increase of 153.9 percent.

Last year, KPMG China issued its first China outsourcing report, A New Dawn: China’s emerging role in global outsourcing. This second report, Inside the Dragon: Outsourcing destinations in China, examines 24 key outsourcing cities in China (plus 3 additional potential cities), highlighting the breadth of locations available for outsourcing-service buyers and providers.

Cities featured in the report cover the following four regions: northern China around the Bohai area, eastern China around the Yangtze River Delta, southern China around the Pearl River Delta, and the midwestern China region.
