Analyst Opinion

Central Asia, the landlocked region that includes Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan, has been gradually emerging as a destination for IT outsourcing.

Customer preferences:
The region's IT outsourcing market has been primarily driven by the demand for low-cost software development services. Central Asia offers a lower cost of living and lower wages compared to Western countries, making it an attractive destination for outsourcing. Additionally, the region's proximity to Europe and Asia has made it a preferred location for companies looking to expand their business operations in these regions.

Trends in the market:
Kazakhstan, the largest economy in Central Asia, has been leading the region's IT outsourcing market. The country has a well-developed IT infrastructure and a highly skilled workforce, which has attracted several multinational companies to set up their outsourcing operations in the country. Kazakhstan's government has also been supportive of the IT industry, providing tax incentives and subsidies to attract foreign investments.Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan are also emerging as destinations for IT outsourcing. These countries have a young and educated workforce, and the governments have been taking steps to promote the IT industry. In recent years, several companies from Europe and North America have set up their outsourcing operations in these countries.

Local special circumstances:
One of the challenges faced by the IT outsourcing industry in Central Asia is the lack of English language proficiency among the workforce. While the younger generation is more proficient in English, there is still a significant portion of the population that does not speak the language fluently. This has led to some companies outsourcing their customer support and other non-technical operations to other countries.

Underlying macroeconomic factors:
Central Asia's IT outsourcing market is expected to continue to grow in the coming years, driven by the region's low cost of living and highly skilled workforce. However, the region's dependence on natural resources, particularly oil and gas, makes it vulnerable to fluctuations in global commodity prices. Additionally, the ongoing political instability in some countries in the region, such as Uzbekistan, could affect the growth of the IT industry. Despite these challenges, Central Asia's IT outsourcing market is expected to continue to grow, driven by the region's young and educated workforce and the government's support for the IT industry.
