The Revenues from Indian Publishing Offshoring Are Slated to Grow

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c57342) has announced the addition of "Offshoring in the Publishing Vertical - An Update" to their offering.
The revenues from Indian publishing offshoring are slated to grow from $440 million in 2006 to reach $1.46 billion in 2010. There were an estimated 26,000 employees in this space in 2006 and this number will grow to 74,000 by 2010. The report "Offshoring in the Publishing Vertical - An Update - focuses on the three key segments: STM/Academic, Educational and Legal publishing that form a bulk of offshoring to India.
A vast majority, or 96% of the India-based vendors have capabilities to service the STM/Academic publishing segment. About 56% and 39% of the vendors have the capability to handle educational publishing and legal publishing respectively. The range of offshored services includes: Editorial, Data (operations), Design, Training and IT. Each of these has achieved varying levels of offshoring maturity, which is analyzed in detail in the report. In the Indian offshoring space, the strongest capability is within the Operations space, followed by Editorial services.
There are over 100 vendors in the publishing offshoring space and we have identified a minimum of 28 credible vendors, which fall within the scope of the study. These vendors have been categorized into clusters (between 1 to 5) and analyzed based on their services, focus, positioning and strategies. Cluster 1, 2 and 3 together account for over 80% of the total employment in the publishing offshoring space in India.
Based on our exhaustive primary research and analysis of this sector, we have identified a "list of frontrunners", that have the highest potential to emerge as winners within their chosen niches. This is on account of strong capabilities, onshore and offshore presence, well-defined growth strategies and execution capabilities, brand and financial strengths. Included in this list (across all clusters) are SPi, OfficeTiger, Aptara (formerly TechBooks), Macmillan India, Newgen, Integra, Infomedia India, Premedia Global, Q2A Solutions and CyberMedia Services. We believe these will be among the most exciting companies in the medium term.
