Introduction

The global multi-process Procurement Outsourcing (PO) market witnessed healthy growth of 11% in 2012. Organic growth emerged as a major driver, contributing around 60% to the increase in market size. With rise in maturity, the competitive intensity is also increasing. Beyond new book of business, service providers are focusing on expanding the existing client relationships and providing value-added services around Low Cost Country Sourcing (LCCS), direct spend management, and tail-end spend management. BPaaS and analytics are playing a more invasive role in PO services than ever before. The definition and scope of PO services is also expanding into downstream F&A and adjacent supply chain activities.
