The global sourcing market surpassed US$214 billion in 2020, with Global Business Services (GBS) continuing to be an integral component of the sourcing model, accounting for approximately 27% of the market. The success of the GBS model in India, Ireland, Poland, the Philippines, and China has led buyers to explore it in other locations in Asia, Central & Eastern Europe (CEE), Rest of Nearshore Europe (RONE), Latin America, and Middle East & Africa (MEA). The GBS market has also expanded across verticals and functions.
