The Finnish outsourcing market performed very well during 2008 and increased 8.9%. The total market was worth €1,411 million in 2008. IDC expects the outsourcing market to do considerably better than the rest of the IT services market, and we forecast a CAGR of 4.6% for 2008-2013.

Per-Arne Sandegren, senior market analyst at IDC Nordic, said, "Even with the recession, the strong Finnish outsourcing market will continue to be one of the best performing IT services sectors. In fact, the current financial climate is actually a trigger for the outsourcing market."
