India's Design Services Market

Abstract

India' s design service industry will continue to grow at double-digit growth until 2010. The cost advantage and availability of skilled manpower has compelled IDMs to either outsource part of their design activities to third-party design firms in India, or set up their own captive centers in the country. The captive centers of the IDMs work on cutting-edge technologies and contribute to the development of products for a global audience. Communications and consumer electronics are driving the growth of the design services market in India.

This report gives a five-year forecast (2005-2010) for the number of design starts in India. It also forecasts the design services revenue across application areas. The report also splits the revenues and workforce between third-party design services and captive centers. It also highlights the percentage of design work across different process nodes.
