Industry data from Deloitte Global Outsourcing Survey 2025, IAOP, and Zedtreeo internal benchmarks.
Understanding outsourcing trends.
Benchmarks are compiled from the Deloitte Global Outsourcing Survey, IAOP (International Association of Outsourcing Professionals) reports, and Zedtreeo's internal placement data across 500+ professionals serving clients globally.
Industries with lower adoption rates (like legal at 38%) often have higher compliance requirements or are earlier in their outsourcing maturity. However, these industries also show the highest year-over-year growth — meaning early adopters gain the biggest competitive advantage.
Marketing & Agencies see the highest average savings (64%) because creative roles command premium salaries locally but can be filled at significantly lower rates through dedicated remote staffing. Technology and E-Commerce follow closely at 60-62%.
Not necessarily. The most outsourced roles represent where the majority of companies start, but any role that doesn't require physical presence can be outsourced. Many companies find unexpected value in outsourcing roles like project management, data analysis, and executive assistance.
