Despite global uncertainties, economic shifts, and the rapid evolution of artificial intelligence (AI), the Philippine IT and Business Process Management (IT-BPM) sector remains on a strong growth trajectory.
The industry generated $38 billion in revenues in 2024 and now employs over 1.82 million Filipinos—proof of its resilience, innovation, and the country’s global competitiveness.
