Introduction

The global sourcing market witnessed steady growth in 2013 to reach a size of ~US$137 billion. While the buyers leverage various sourcing models to meet their sourcing objectives, the in-house model continues to be an integral component of this evolution.

The success of the Global in-house Center (GIC) model in India and Philippines has led buyers to explore other locations. While both these countries continue to lead GIC activity, companies established GICs in other parts of Asia, Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), Latin America, and Middle East and Africa (MEA). Besides diversifying geographically, the GIC model has been adopted across various verticals and functions.
