Nearshore Software Development
Software development firms in Latin America or Canada.
Market snapshot
These figures describe Nearshore & Offshore Development (9.6.2), the segment that Nearshore Software Development sits within. They are not figures for Nearshore Software Development on its own.
Not separately classified, and largely delivered outside the country, so US receipts capture only a fraction of it. Nearshore has been taking share from offshore on timezone overlap rather than price. The cost gap narrowed while the coordination cost of a twelve-hour difference did not.
