Additionally, 70% of procurement decisions now involve the CIO or CTO, highlighting the strategic importance of open source.
Open source services are predominantly delivered digitally, minimizing physical tariffs. However, data localization laws and cross-border data transfer restrictions act as non-tariff barriers. The US and EU are net exporters, accounting for 65% of global open source service trade. Asia-Pacific is a net importer, particularly of professional services. Recent trade agreements, such as the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, aim to reduce friction. Geopolitical tensions, such as US-China tech decoupling, could impact cloud-based service delivery, with potential 5-10% increase in compliance costs. Additionally, countries like India and Brazil are imposing data residency requirements, forcing service providers to establish local data centers. This trend is expected to increase operational costs by 8-12% for cross-border service delivery. However, the overall impact on trade volumes is limited, as digital services can be replicated across borders with minimal physical infrastructure.
