Key findings from the 2022 Swiss study:
70% of organisations in Switzerland plan to outsource at the same rate or more in the next two years, with 37% confirming they will outsource more. Insourcing remains relatively high since 2020, the start of the Covid pandemic. Since then, one in five organisations indicate they will outsource less (this year 19%) – one of the highest levels in Europe alongside the United Kingdom and Nordics. Most organisations (79%) cite their desire for faster time-to-market and improved quality outcomes as the primary reason for insourcing. The pharmaceuticals sector is the only sector to contrast this result, with just 5% of respondents planning to outsource less.

Respondents planning to outsource less
In comparison to the rest of Europe in 2022, cost reduction is still the number one driver for organisations planning to outsource more in Switzerland (cited by 67%). Focus on core business is the second most important outsourcing driver with 64%, followed by access to resources/talent, which has increased by 13% in line with the ‘war for talent’ that is sweeping Europe. The sectors focused most on this topic are financial services and pharmaceuticals, where respectively 80% and 50% of respondents cite access to resources/talent as a reason for outsourcing more.
