Definition:

By outsourcing IT tasks (e.g., to IT suppliers or software developers), enterprises are able to focus on their core functions and save internal resources and costs (e.g., office space, maintenance, and utilities). Thus, outsourcing teams becomes a viable cost resilience strategy in an environment where companies are looking to save money more than ever.

IT outsourcing has become a significant trend in the Algerian market as the country is striving to develop its economy and reduce its dependence on oil and gas.
Customer preferences: Algerian companies are increasingly turning to IT outsourcing to reduce costs and improve efficiency. Many companies are looking for specialized IT services that are not available in-house. Additionally, the country's young and tech-savvy population is driving demand for innovative IT solutions.
Trends in the market: The IT outsourcing market in Algeria is witnessing a shift towards cloud-based services, as companies seek to reduce their IT infrastructure costs. Furthermore, there is a growing trend towards outsourcing non-core IT functions, such as software development and maintenance, to specialized service providers. The government is also promoting the development of the IT sector, which is expected to drive demand for IT outsourcing services.
Local special circumstances: Algeria's IT outsourcing market is relatively small compared to other countries in the region, such as Morocco and Tunisia. However, the country's strategic location and proximity to Europe make it an attractive destination for IT outsourcing. Additionally, the government's efforts to diversify the economy and promote the development of the IT sector are expected to boost the IT outsourcing market in the country.
Underlying macroeconomic factors: Algeria's economy is heavily dependent on oil and gas exports, which account for more than 90% of the country's export revenues. However, the decline in oil prices in recent years has led to a significant drop in government revenues, prompting the government to diversify the economy and reduce its dependence on oil and gas. The development of the IT sector is seen as a key driver of economic diversification, and the government has taken several measures to promote the sector, including tax incentives and the establishment of technology parks. This is expected to drive demand for IT outsourcing services in the country.
