Services: Growth & Reasons

Reasons For Growth Of Services

The growth of service industries can be traced to the economic

development of society and the socio-cultural changes that have

accompanied it. Changing environmental forces brought out of the services

in forefront of the economy. Those environmental forces separately or in

combination create new type of service. The following environmental factors

are responsible to make a new service.


Economic affluence

One, of the key factors for the growth of demand for services is the
economic affluence . The size of the middle income consumer is raising
fast and the percentage of the very poor household’s declining. The rural
households in the upper income category are growing at a much faster
pace than the urban households in the corresponding categories. The
Economic liberalization Process has had a positive impact on the Indian
households. Their income as well as their expenditure has been pushed,
creating a demand for many goods and services
Changing Role of Women

Traditionally the Indian woman was confined to household activities. But with
the changing time there has been a change in the traditional way of thinking
in the society. Women are now allowed to work. They are employed in
defense services, police services, postal services, software services, health
services, hospital services, entertainment industries, Business Process
Outsourcing and so on.
The percentage of working women has been growing rapidly. The changing
role of women has created a market for a number of product and services.
Earning women prefer to hire services in order to minimize the innumerable
roles that they are required to perform. The demand by woman is forcing
service organizations to be more innovative in their approach.
Cultural Changes

Change is the underlying philosophy of culture place of change in Indian


culture is not uniform. However, during the last century the factors of change
are prominent. The emergence of the nuclear family system in place of the
traditional joint family system creates a demand for a host of services like
education, health care, entertainment, telecommunication, transport,
tourism and so on. There has’ been a marked change in the thought
Processes relating to investment, leisure time perception and so on which
has created a huge demand for services.
I.T. Revolution
For the last 15 years in India IT became one of the key service businesses of the
country. India has the largest software skilled population in the world. The
domestic market as well as the international market has grown substantially.
Realizing the potential for this area many state governments have made IT as
their most, prioritized segment states such as Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh,
Madhya Pradesh Maharashtra and Delhi have already achieved substantial
progress in Information Technology .

Natural Resources
The growth. Of’ population, industrialization and indiscriminate consumptions
have affected the, natural resources, environment and the ecological balance.
Due to this there is an imbalance of the ecology various service organizations
have been promoted in order to take up social marketing. Thousands of crores
of rupees are being spent on safeguarding the rare animals and birds, water
pollution, conservation of oil & energy and research to develop new
technologies that can promote effective use of natural resources and safeguard
the environment.
Development of Markets

During the last few decades the wholesaler and the retailer
population has grown in the country. Urban India has become a
cluster of wholesaling and retailing business. In the Semi – urban
areas, retailing has spread to the nooks and corners of the streets
and in the rural areas retail business is significantly present. A new
breed of organizations, offering marketing services has come up.
The government also offers marketing services to the small-scale
agricultural farmers, artisans and other traditional business sectors
such ‘as promotion of regulated markets, export promotion
councils, development boards etc
Market orientation
The changing competitive situation and demand supply positions
has forced the manufacturing organization to shift their philosophy
from production orientation to market orientation. Market is a
service function that has been added in the organization. The
pressures in the market has further forced the manufacturing
organizations to have marketing research, accounting, auditing,
financial management, human resource management and
marketing research divisions – all of which are services functions.
Health-Care Consciousness

In India, the healthcare market has grown substantially. The


increased life expectancy is the result of the consciousness of the
people regarding the health issues. The growth of fitness clubs,
diagnostic centers, medical counseling, and health-related
information sites are the reflections of the growing demands for
health care services. The government as well as the social
organizations has taken up the mass campaigns in order to create
awareness among the illiterate persons and the rural population on
health service. Hence, the growth of health related services.
Economic liberalization

The economic liberalization of the 1991 has brought many


changes in the Indian scenario. With the Disinvestment and
the Privatization policies the state owned monopolies in many
service areas came to an end Multinationals were permitted
to enter the Indian market. Liberal lending policies and lower
interest rates motivated many people to become self-
employed. Different sectors like Banking, Insurance, Power
projects, Telecommunication, Hospitality sector, Health
Services, Entertainment, Air transport, and Courier services
witnessed intense competition, due to the entry of
multinationals. The flow of time-tested service technology
from various parts of the world changed the attitude of the
Indian consumer towards sources.
