Many countries—most notably India and the Philippines— have accelerated their economic growth through thriving information technology (IT) and business process services exports.

Of this market, approximately 20-25 percent is delivered as service exports from one country to another. In aggregate, the services exports market has been growing 10-15 percent per year for over a decade.
