Shared Services Centre Market Will Reach USD 152.38 billion in Forecast Period 2020-2024
A dedicated unit consisting of
processes, people, and technologies that focuses on defined business functions
is referred to as shared services. It is organised as a single point of contact
and delivery location. These functions, which are supported by IT and IT
services, cater to the needs of various business units within the enterprise. A
shared services centre (SSC) is an enterprise's hub for shared services. It is
a dedicated unit in charge of carrying out and managing specific operational
tasks such as human resources, accounting, payroll, information technology,
compliance, legal, purchasing, security, and others. These SSCs are frequently
regarded as spin-offs of corporate services; They aim to decouple all
operational tasks from corporate headquarters, allowing them to concentrate on
their core competencies instead. SSCs are highly cost-sensitive in terms of
labour costs, location selection criteria, and headcount because they are
intended to be cost-effective.
As enterprises around the world
increasingly focus on lowering overall production costs while improving service
quality, the shared services centre market is poised for rapid growth. Ingenious
implementation of SSCs at the operational stage results in improved operational
efficiency and cost savings. The clinical
and pharmaceutical end-use segments account for a significant share of the
global shared services centre market and are expected to grow at an impressive rate in the coming years. The rapidly increasing demand for cost-effective
treatment modalities, as well as the redesigning of the traditional pharmaceutical
R&D models are expected to drive demand in the global shared services
centre market.
Among the various end-use segments of
the market, the legal end-use is expected to significantly contribute to the
SSC industry's revenue during the forecast period. In recent years, the introduction of new
technologies, combined with rising demand for cost-cutting measures in the aftermath of the global economic downturn has compelled law firms and
corporate legal departments to replace their traditional business approach with
shared services and outsourcing.
The BFSI segment also held a
significant share of the global shared services centre market and is expected
to grow significantly over the report's forecast period. The emerging trend
among leading enterprises to strengthen their global presence and improve
customer satisfaction will boost demand from the BFSI sector. Furthermore, the availability of a highly skilled workforce at lower wages in emerging economies in Eastern Europe and the Asia Pacific is expected to boost the global shared services centre market.
Regionally, Asia Pacific is expected to grow
at the fastest rate as a regional market for SSCs. Asia Pacific is one of the
most profitable regional markets for SSC due to its close-knit cultural homogeneity
and low-cost arbitrage. Furthermore, the
region's abundance of institutions and universities facilitates access to a
skilled labour force with multilingual skills, which is quite similar to the
culture prevalent in Western Europe. This is expected to significantly boost
the global shared services centre market.
