| OVERVIEW |
| |
| ValueNotes
conducted a survey of international market research agencies about their company's
offshoring outlook. The total responses included in the survey includes market
research agencies from 28 countries, of which, a little over half of the respondents
were from the US while European companies represent 35% of the sample. A majority
of the respondents surveyed are decision makers or share a direct responsibility
for revenues. The survey was followed up with detailed interviews with select
respondents. |
| |
| The Market |
| Most of the research agencies
surveyed offshore activities around data collection, data processing and panel
services. However, many companies have explored offshoring in relatively difficult
to offshore areas like project management, report writing and research design.
Other services offshored include moderation, small pilots for various studies
etc. Consulting firms and full service research agencies are offshoring greater
volumes and processes when compared to qualitative and fieldwork and tabulation
agencies. |
| |
| Buyer Perspectives |
| The survey reveals that multiple
offshoring drivers influence the offshoring decision of research agencies. While
better quality and cost are key drivers for most of the research agencies, equally,
concerns about quality of work, data security and cultural differences have emerged
as key concerns. There is a greater desire to transcend beyond cost arbitrage
and add value through other drivers. |
| |
| Investment Perspective |
| While the Research & Analytics
services companies have always been attractive for investors, astronomically high
valuations of these companies have been a major deterrent to actual investments.
Despite this scenario, the sector has witnessed some pioneering investments, deals,
and acquisitions in the recent past. Given the uncertain economic environment
in the near future, we expect rationalization of valuations and heightened interest
towards investments in these companies. |
