Market Driver

Outsourcing partnerships are characterized by collaborative relationships, where both the customer organization and the outsourcing service provider share risks and benefits. This approach is crucial for the successful execution of outsourcing projects, especially as the challenges and risks continue to evolve. Apple, for instance, collaborates with China-based manufacturers to leverage their expertise in high-end material science and packaging technology. Simultaneously, Apple sets specific manufacturing and quality control measures to ensure the premium quality of its products. India-based telecom company Airtel also forms strategic partnerships with outsourcing firms like IBM, Ericsson, Nokia, and Siemens, based on shared risk and reward deals. Airtel's success significantly impacts the revenue generation of these outsourced companies. Co-innovation, where both parties exchange knowledge to develop new solutions and products, is a critical driver of growth in the Engineering Services Outsourcing (ESO) market. Despite the risks, the collaborative nature of these partnerships is expected to fuel the expansion of the global ESO market during the forecast period. 

The Engineering Services Outsourcing market is experiencing significant trends in various industries. In Auto designing, Computer-aided design (CAD), Computer-aided engineering (CAE), and Computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) are increasingly popular. Telecom, Robotics, and OEMs are leveraging outsourcing for IT integration and digitalization. March 2020 marked a surge in offshoring for CNC machines and digital collaboration tools. Industrial automation, control services, and mobility are driving demand for customized services in sectors like 5G networks, Smart Products, and Digital twins. OEMs are focusing on servitization and M2M (Machine-to-Machine) for better efficiency. Cyberattacks pose a threat to intellectual property (IP) and data security, necessitating robust cybersecurity measures. Digitalization and cloud adoption are transforming PLM/MES systems, while AI and machine learning (ML) are revolutionizing testing services and designing services. On-shore and off-shore outsourcing continue to coexist, with automation and integrated solutions being key offerings. Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) and 3D printing are gaining traction, while cybersecurity, edge analytics, and software tools remain essential components of the Engineering Services Outsourcing landscape.

 Market Challenges

• The engineering services outsourcing market faces a significant challenge in the form of intellectual property (IP) theft. Organizations are cautious about outsourcing their R&D operations due to the risk of design and technology leakage. Strict non-disclosure policies and procedures are implemented to prevent unauthorized access to confidential information. However, the increasing use of computer technology and online access makes it difficult to safeguard IP completely. Collaborating with engineering services providers across borders adds to the complexity, as differences in laws and regulations can make it challenging to prove IP breaches. Techniques such as forced technology transfer, corporate espionage, and hacking are used to steal IP, resulting in loss of competitive advantage for customer organizations. This concern restricts many from outsourcing engineering services during the forecast period.
• The Engineering Services Outsourcing market is experiencing significant growth due to the increasing demand for cost savings and expertise in areas like auto designing, computer-aided manufacturing, telecom, robotics, IT integration, and OEMs. However, challenges persist in implementing computer-aided design (CAD), computer-aided engineering (CAE), and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) technologies, including 3D printing and CNC machines. Digitalization trends such as enterprise asset management, industrial automation, control services, mobility, smart products, and digital twins present opportunities, but also risks like cyberattacks and intellectual property concerns. The adoption of 5G networks, digital collaboration tools, offshoring, cloud, cybersecurity, servitization, M2M, edge analytics, PLM/MES systems, customized services, Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), data security, and testing services require careful consideration. Challenges include on-shore vs. Off-shore outsourcing, automation, and integrated solutions, as well as the impact of AI, ML, and cybersecurity on intellectual property and data security.
