«Today, the Ukrainian IT market is $7.85 billion, over 305,000 specialists and more than 2,000 companies operating both in the global and domestic markets,» said Maria Shevchuk, Executive Director of the IT Ukraine Association, during the event.
In addition, it was announced that the Ukrainian IT sector generates about 3,2% of GDP and provides $6.6 billion in exports, which accounts for over 40% of services exports.
Meanwhile, economist Viktor Galasyuk, analyzing research by the IT Ukraine association, expressed the opinion that the Ukrainian IT industry should move away from export-oriented outsourcing, which is currently dominant.
According to him, as dev.ua wrote, revenue per person in other high-tech industries, for example, in pharmaceuticals, can be 10 times higher than the figures for IT outsourcing.
