The functional service providers (FSP) Market has been witnessing significant growth over the past few years.

Many companies operating in this market offers specialized, industry-specific solutions to help clients focus on their core competencies. Going forward, the growing generation of huge amounts of data and increasing focus on gaining insights to make strategic business decisions are expected to present attractive opportunities for the players operating in the functional service providers (FSP) market during the forecast period.

Rising demand for cloud-based services

With the rapid growth of digitization across all industries, there has been a massive increase in the volume of data being generated every minute. However, most organizations lack the in-house expertise and resources to store, manage, and analyze such huge amounts of data. This is where functional service providers (FSPs) come into the picture by offering scalable cloud-based solutions for data management. They provide data storage, analytics, and other digital services over the internet through utility-style pricing models. This on-demand availability of data-related capabilities has eliminated upfront infrastructure investments for organizations. It has allowed even small and medium enterprises to leverage advanced tools and technologies. For instance, in March 2023 Fujitsu, a Japan-based multinational information and communications technology firm, announced the launch of a new cloud-based platform that enables users to securely collect and leverage health-related data to support digital transformation in the medical industry.

Another key driver has been the increasing focus across all businesses to shed non-core activities and concentrate organizational resources entirely on core competencies that delivers greatest competitive advantage. In the cut-throat business environment, focus on strengthening core offerings, refining business processes, reducing operational costs, and improving overall efficiency has become imperative for growth and survival. However, non-core or support functions like finance, accounting, procurement, etc. still need to be handled efficiently even as top management directs attention to key growth areas. This is driving greater openness to outsourcing such shared services to capable and specialized third-party FSPs. Businesses engaging FSPs are able to drastically streamline processes, leverage technological innovations and process expertise to handle functions at much larger scales. Advanced analytics, automation, and standardized KPI-driven processes adopted by FSPs ensure higher consistency, control and compliance. This allows internal teams to contribute more value adding tasks while gaining access to global best practices.
