Countries such as Philippines, Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore among others are also considered as emerging, dominant outsourcing destinations in the market. China is another major destination for ESO, and it held a market share of close to 15% in 2014.

Key challenges faced by the global engineering services outsourcing market

Protecting IP is one of the major challenges confronting the Global ESO market. Outsourcing engineering tasks to other countries raises IP concerns, given the several risks associated with theft, or misuse of trade secrets, or loss of IP rights.

ESOs just work on the products of their customers and they dont own them. Any innovation that emerges out as a result of the work carried out belongs to the third-party service provider. Therefore, the enterprises that outsource their engineering services to third-party vendors always have concerns for IP loss as the service providers serve multiple customers that can be competitors. In addition, various types of IP assets such as trade secrets, trademarks, industrial design, patents, and copyrights are put into use in an offshore outsourcing agreement.
