IT services sector likely to register growth upto 9% in FY20: ICRA

19 Mar 2019 Evaluate

ICRA, domestic rating agency, in its latest report has said that the information technology (IT) services sector is likely to register a growth of 7-9% in next financial year (FY20) mainly on account of demand for digital solutions.  It mentioned that the earlier small-scale proof of concept digital projects has started evolving into enterprise level larger implementations coupled with improvement in discretionary spend supporting future growth.

Besides, firming oil prices will lead to some discretionary spends by energy firms on digital spends and give the IT firms some good news, while retail is also showing improvement in the first nine months of FY19. From a profitability perspective, it stated that margins were flattish in the third quarter of FY19 on pricing pressure, increased regulatory costs, wage inflation and higher onshore hiring and sub-contracting cost necessitated by visa curbs. Moreover, it added there will be higher consolidation in the industry, especially among the small and mid-size players, owing to margin pressures in the next decade. 

However, it underlined that the overall margins are estimated to decline to 20.8% in FY20 for its 19 sample companies from 22.5% in FY18.  Indian companies have started to ramp-up on-shore hiring in its largest market of US on visa issuance norms being tightened by restricting the entry-level programmers coupled with increasing compliance and evidence requirements adding to cost pressures.
