The worldwide technology using on hardware and Information Technology (IT) related administrations is evaluated to be about US $ 1.7 trillion and developing at a CAGR of around the range of 7%1 in the most recent two years. Far beyond this, the engineering and R&d use represents about US $ 800 billion.
Figure 1: Global technology spending in 2007
The use in IT Services and IT Enabled Services (Ites)/business Process Outsourcing (Bpo) was anticipated that will touch over US 500 billion and US $ 450 billion in 2008 individually, with IT Services recording a growth of 6.3% and BPO Services recording a growth of 12% universally.

Given this foundation and the setting of India's 'IT story', it must be placed in viewpoint that India still records for just in the ballpark of 4.5%4 of this market. This shows that there is abundant space for India to tap the potential for growth in this business sector in the years to come. The Indian IT and ITES Industry recorded a turnover of US $ 60 billion in 2009, with exports representing about US $ 47 billion and helping over 70% of industry revenues. The industry has developed at a CAGR of shut 30% between 2004 and 2009.

The significant business for software and administrations remains the Americas (basically USA), representing in the ballpark of 60% of revenues. Notwithstanding, recognising the necessity to differentiate their customer base, companies in this industry have build the allotment of revenues outside of USA from in the ballpark of 30% in 2004 to about 40% at present.

ESTIMATED MARKET SIZE AND HR NEED
As outlined in the earlier sections, sustained technology spending globally, and increasing GDP growth and spending in India are expected to be primary drivers of growth. Post 2020, growth drivers in addition to traditional IT and BPO services large companies (in the Fortune 500) in US and EU will arise from Small and Medium Businesses (SMBs), public sector, healthcare, media, and utilities. A significant portion of the growth would be driven by markets in BRIC countries, APAC, Japan, and Rest of the world. A shift would occur in terms of customer expectations, led by innovation, end-toend offerings, risk management, and compliance. It is expected that the ‘outsource able’ market would expand from the current US $ 500 billion to about US $ 1.5 to 1.6 trillion by 2020. Sustained GDP growth, increasing public sector spends, and adoption of IT by industry would drive the domestic component of the market. Given these factors, it is expected that the Indian IT and ITES Industry would record about US $ 220 billion in exports and US $ 60 billion domestically by 2022, totaling to about US $ 260 billion growing at a CAGR of 12.8% This growth can be much more with markets opening up further and supported by large investments in innovation, skill building, IP creation, and development of IT infrastructure in tier-2 and tier-3 cities. At the same time, risks such as protectionism, poor infrastructure and skill development could dampen the growth. Various scenarios are presented below on this basis.
Figure 4: Forecasted size of Indian IT and ITES Industry by 2022
Based on the trends witnessed in productivity and the likely growth potential of the IT and ITES industry, it is expected that the industry would employ about 7.5 million persons directly by 2022. A large portion of this employment is expected to occur in the ITES (BPO/KPO) exports sector, followed by IT exports and then in the domestic market. The projected human resource requirement for the various growth scenarios mentioned earlier are detailed below.

CONCLUSIONS
The worldwide business sector for IT administrations and ITES is vast and developing notwithstanding reasons for alarm of a makeshift setback on account of the worldwide financial emergency. Restrictions to growth are basically on the supply side, specifically regarding workers with ability sets that meet the necessities of the business. The globalizing business sector for abilities, then again, permits advancing nations to exploit their expense advantage as far as work and to make investments in stretching the aptitudes of their work constrains to make them suitable for job in the quickly developing worldwide IT and ITES commercial enterprises. Fruitful cooperation in the commercial ventures has been demonstrated to have a positive effect on employment creation, exports, monetary growth, and social advancement. Areas with similarly huge ability pools will have leverage in drawing in IT benefits and ITES companies on the grounds that substantial companies like to source administrations from areas where versatility is possible. This is especially accurate for ―commodity‖ administrations, for example, contact focuses and standard back-office IT and bookkeeping capacities. Later accomplishments of little nations demonstrate that chances exist in a reach of corner and higher quality included portions where little nations may have the ability to contend adequately. The timing and scale of increases vary, then again, as per a nation's ability gifts, framework, expense points of interest, and the earth. The Location Readiness Index has been presented as an apparatus for strategy creators to better survey their chances in the It/ites space and distinguish territories that might oblige further consideration. The utilization of the Index as an indicative instrument has been exhibited by applying it to the instances of Kenya and Indonesia. Nations that are intensely obliged regarding foundation and abilities may need to concentrate on more growth projects to advance their ability pools and fundamental base, and in this way will take longer to understand the profits of facilitating IT benefits and ITES companies. In nations that have succeeded in the IT benefits and ITES businesses, governments have by and large received a proactive part in pushing the division. Such help can regularly be given moderately low levels of open subsidizing by leveraging private part investments. A large portion of people in general mediations to push the commercial ventures – enhancing training, furnishing broadband framework or streamlining government interfaces with businesses and so on – are basically ―no regret moves that convey little risk.
