The industry is being driven by the increased demand for salary cost transparency. Contracts that provide worldwide visibility of expenses and aggregate reporting of payments, employee data, and other services are frequently sought by multinational firms driving the market growth. It also creates a stress-free environment for HR professionals to focus on driving and developing strategic activities (such as workforce planning and talent management) rather than administrative and transactional tasks, thus resulting in high demand. The system results in cost reduction or control by eliminating the employment of new employees and technology-driven costs. Hence, it is witnessing rapid growth.

Market Landscape

As the market for payroll outsourcing services is fragmented, providers are employing expansion techniques such as strategic partnerships to compete. To ensure simplified operations, service providers must create a strong presence and a more considerable degree of centralisation for clients due to local compliance requirements. This has prompted service providers to construct captive centres in their respective nations to reduce payroll delivery costs. Market suppliers should concentrate more on the fast-growing sectors' growth potential while retaining their positions in the slow-growing segments.
