Abstract

This report focuses on the competitive landscape in R&D services in Europe. We examine the main players in Europe and expands on four different player categories: the staff augmentation players, those active in automotive and aerospace, the Indian vendors and the IT services vendors also present in R&D services. We look at how the main players are adapting their activity in light of new client demand, such as offshore sourced work, work packages and fixed-priced projects. Finally, this report expands on how IT services players can gain market share over traditional R&D services players.
