The global sourcing market continued to evolve and grow rapidly in 2016 to cross US$175 billion. While buyers leveraged different sourcing models as per their objectives and requirements, the GIC model continued to be an integral component of this evolution.

The success of the GIC model in India, Poland, and the Philippines led buyers to explore its application in other locations. While these countries continue to lead GIC activity, companies also established GICs in other parts of Asia, Central & Eastern Europe (CEE), Rest of Nearshore Europe (RONE) (which includes Ireland, Norther Ireland, Scotland, and Portugal), Latin America, and Middle East & Africa (MEA).

Besides the geographic diversification, the GIC market also expanded across verticals and functions.
