Critical Analysis of IT Industry of Bangladesh from Managerial Economic Perspective

Chapter 1: Introduction

IT industry in Bangladesh has crossed a long road over the last few decades. It has matured. The

industry no more remains at the sideline. It joined the mainstream. Not only the industry is contributingsignificantly in the national income, but also it has been playing very crucial role in creating high

quality employment for a sizable portion of young graduates of the country.

There are over 800 registered software and ITES (IT Enabled Service) companies in Bangladesh.

There are another few hundred of unregistered small and home-based software and IT ventures doing

business for both local and international markets.

The total industry size is estimated to be around Tk. 1,800 crore (US$ 250 million). Approximately

30,000 professionals, majority IT and other graduates, are employed in the industry. Though,

compared to other traditional mainstream industry, the contribution for overall employment creation is

not significantly high, but if considered in terms of creating high quality employment (average

monthly compensation over Tk. 15,000 per month), software and IT service industry is surely one of

the top employment sectors in the country.

Local market still constitutes the major part of business of this industry. There has been a consistent

growth (around 20-30%) in this market over last few years. The market is maturing in terms of

both client requirement and solution response from IT companies. The export market is also

growing. In 2010-11 the revenue generated from export was 45.31 million USD and growth rate was

28.14%.

One of the most encouraging recent trends in the industry is that, leveraging on recent

positive changes like larger Internet user-base, better connectivity as well as introduction of new

payment methods (online paymentthrough credit card and mobile payment), a good number of

companies are focusing or diversifying on differentweb based services that include specialized

portals, listing services, e-Commerce, e-Learning, payment intermediary services etc.

3.3 Sample Distribution

Along with the secondary data some primary data will be needed to understand the present scenario of

of the IT industry of Bangladesh. Prior to the survey work sample distribution is important because it

defines who will be surveyed and how many of them will be taken as sample from the population

because anything that is not statistically significant may not provide feasible result. Therefore after the

formulation of the study objectives sample distribution will be drawn.
