The anticipated surge in the adoption of cloud services is expected to drive the growth of the IT Outsourcing market in the future. Cloud services amalgamate computation, storage, and network infrastructure to facilitate swift application development and dynamic scaling. The increasing prevalence of IT Outsourcing allows access to broader global markets. These IT Outsourcing functionalities ensure scalability, facilitate easier access to subject matter experts, reduce costs, and enable the allocation of resources to core business development. For instance, the 2022 State of DevOps Report by Google, a US-based technology company, revealed that in 2022, 26% of users reported using multiple public clouds, up from 21% in 2021. Additionally, the utilization of hybrid clouds increased from 25% to 42.5%. Consequently, the growing adoption of cloud computing is propelling the expansion of the IT consulting market.

The rising demand in the retail and e-commerce sector is poised to propel the growth of the IT Outsourcing market. The retail industry encompasses businesses engaged in selling goods or services directly to end consumers for personal use, while e-commerce involves the online buying and selling of goods and services. Outsourcing IT services in the retail and e-commerce industry enhances operational efficiency and cost-effectiveness, provides access to skilled expertise, and improves scalability, flexibility, and adaptability. This approach can lead to faster development cycles for software and applications, reducing time-to-market for new products or features in the e-commerce space. For example, in September 2023, according to census.gov, retail trade sales increased by 0.6% from July 2023 and by 1.6% from 2022. Moreover, in August 2023, the estimate for e-commerce in the second quarter of 2023 increased by 7.5% compared to the second quarter of 2022. Overall retail sales increased by 0.6%, with 15.4% of all sales in the second quarter of 2023 made through online stores. Thus, the increasing demand in the retail and e-commerce industry is driving the growth of the IT Outsourcing market.

Technological advancements are a prominent trend gaining traction in the IT Outsourcing market. Major companies in the IT Outsourcing market are concentrating on developing innovative solutions to fortify their market position. For instance, in November 2021, Oracle Corporation, a US-based computer technology corporation, introduced Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) AI services.

Prominent companies in the IT Outsourcing market are directing their efforts toward innovative products, such as security management outsourcing services, to boost revenues. Security management outsourcing involves contracting with a third-party supplier to oversee various aspects of an organization's security requirements. For instance, in July 2023, NTT Data Corporation, a Japan-based IT services company, launched a security management outsourcing service called Managed Detection and Response (MDR). This service, delivered by highly skilled security engineers with over twenty years of experience, aims to reduce incident damage and prevent occurrences within the context of the company's computer security incident response team (CSIRT). This strategic move addresses the challenges in the evolving corporate environment, where defending against complex cyberattacks is increasingly difficult due to factors such as remote work, diverse supplier chains, and rapid AI development.

In June 2023, Grant Thornton International Ltd., a UK-based umbrella organization, acquired IT Omega for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition positions Grant Thornton to provide its clients with managed detection and response (MDR) services and comprehensive security management services, aiding them in identifying, responding to, and recovering from incidents swiftly.
