I wrote last summer about Europe’s growing appetite for outsourcing, citing a TPI report that indicated continental Europe accounted for a third of all global outsourcing activity, up from just 12 percent in 2002.
The region’s appetite remains healthy, based on a new report from Everest Research that finds 36 percent of outsourcing deals during 2008’s first quarter involved European Union countries. Offshoring continues to gain popularity with European customers, according to a silicon.com story about the research, with a dozen outsourcing suppliers expanding their operations to other countries, including India and the Philippines.
