  • Export of Russian Software Development Industry
    2015 Export of Russian Software Development Industry 12-th Annual Survey With support from RUSSOFT Association RVC and APKIT Association 2015 Dear colleagues! Dear friends! I have particular honor to introduce to you results of the annual (this time already 12th) survey of the software development export industry in Russia. The research was conducted by RUSSOFT Association from February to April 2015. More than 120 market players were interrogated within the research, additionally a wide range of sources of information were studied, expert judgments were received from dozens of CEOs of software development companies. The last 2014 year passed within the climate of marked aggravation of the world geopolitical situation due to events in Ukraine that eventually resulted in adoption of economic sanctions against Russia by the United States and by the European Union. And the end of the year was marked by fall in oil prices and by a corresponding ruble’s decline against leading world currencies. Negative factors had an impact on growth rate in sales of software and of development services oered by Russian software industry which decreased from 17% in 2013 to 11% in 2014. At the same time, devaluation of national currency added to marketability of Russian industry in the global market. According to forecasts of our respondents, in 2015 the volume of foreign sales of Russian companies will amount to $7 billion with enhancing growth rate to 16%. Unfortunately, prospects for export growth in no small measure will depend not on companies themselves but on political developments. Russian companies are feeling the appearance of political barriers although typical only for clients who lack experience in working with Russia.

  • Export of Russian Software Development Industry
    2017 Export of Russian Software Development Industry 14-th Annual Survey With support from RUSSOFT Association APKIT Association 2017 Dear colleagues! Dear friends! Here you will find the results of the annual (and 14th!) survey of the software export industry in Russia, which has traditionally been carried out by the Noncommercial Partnership for Software Developers RUSSOFT (NP RUSSOFT). In February-April 2017 we surveyed over 150 companies on the market (this was a record for the entire period of surveying!) Additionally, we studied various sources of information, and received expert assessments from dozens of directors of software developer companies. Last year was marked by the Russian economy moving from stagnation to growth, which was reflected in the increase of sales of Russian software companies not only abroad, but also on the domestic market. Another important factor was the election of Donald Trump as the US president, which led to a deepening in the geopolitical conflict between Russia and the USA, creating preconditions for strengthening the position of our industry in Europe and in countries of the developing world. At last, the mechanism of state support of hi-tech export was launched, in the form of the Russian export center. The first results were shown by our activity in third-world countries, where Russia proved capable of providing alternative solutions in the security sphere, de facto offering these countries “Digital sovereignty”. The volume of foreign sales of software and developer services of Russian companies grew by 12% and reached $7.5 billion. At the same time, it must be admitted that for geopolitical reasons, it is becoming more difficult for our companies to sell software and developer services from Russia, and so the gap has increased between the total volume of foreign sales by Russian companies and the volume of sales by their Russian offices (which came to $4.8 billion).

  • Russian Software Industry
    2019 Russian software industry 16-th Annual Survey With support from RUSSOFT Association APKIT Association 2019 Dear colleagues, We bring to your notice the results of the annual (by this time the 16th!) survey of the software development export industry in Russia which as ever has been conducted by RUSSOFT Association. In February-April 2019, we surveyed 175 market players (it is a record throughout the entire period of survey!). Additionally, we studied various sources of information and received expert assessments from dozens of directors of software developer companies. Last year was marked by a significant growth of sales of Russian software industry on the Russian IT market, particularly of software development services. An important factor which had an impact on the growth of domestic market was a real digital transformation process deeply felt by Russian economy. A deepening in the geopolitical conflict between Russia and the USA results in reduction of the share of the US and the EU markets in the total volume of foreign sales of Russian software and of software development services, at the same time the confidence in the future promotes a large rise of companies which aim at coming in these markets over the next two years. Foreign sales of Russia have slightly increased on emerging markets, particularly in African countries. In the developing world Russia proved capable of providing alternative solutions in the security sphere, de facto offering these countries access to the “Digital sovereignty”. The volume of foreign sales of software and of software development services of Russian companies grew by 10% and reached $9.7 billion.
