Over 80 pct of China's software exports come from foreign companies
POSTED: 8:49 a.m. EDT, December 1,2006
China exported software worth of 610 million U.S. dollars in the first ten months, more than 80 percent of which was made by foreign companies operating in China.

Customs statistics released here Thursday show that the value of national software exports rose 30.7 percent year-on-year but the proportion from private local companies dropped in the period.

Foreign-funded companies recorded software exports of 500 million U.S. dollars in the Jan.-Oct. period, up 40.4 percent year-on-year. The figure from private local companies declined 9.3percent to 60 million U.S. dollars, according to customs statistics.

In the press release on its website, China Customs attributed the bad performance of local companies to their small scale and lack of competitiveness in the international market.

Another problem that baffles the Chinese software industry is that the target market of exports is highly concentrated in Japan, which absorbed 390 million U.S. dollars, or 63.9 percent of China's software exports in the first ten months.

Experts predicted that the global IT outsourcing market will reach 100 billion U.S dollars in 2007, most of which will come from the European and U.S. market.

"Only by breaking into the mainstream software market could Chinese export-oriented software companies gain the foothold in the global software outsourcing market," according to the press release.

Customs statistics show that China's software exports to the United States and Hong Kong only stood at 70 million U.S. dollars respectively in the Jan.-Oct. period. No figures for the European market are provided.

Beijing, Shanghai and northeast China's Liaoning Province accomplished 80.7 percent of the national software exports in the first ten months, according to China Customs.
