Fiji’s outsourcing industry is targeting 15,000 jobs and a national outsourcing revenues of $465million by 2030.
The ambitious target is set against a backdrop of increased global demand and the country’s growing competitiveness in higher value service segments.
Outsource Fiji’s newly appointed president Chandan Ohri revealed this at a press conference in Suva yesterday noting the success of the industry that currently employs more than 9500 Fijians.
“By 2030, we are targeting 15,000 jobs in this sector. That is not just a number – that is 15,000 livelihoods, families supported and 15,000 stories of opportunity created here in Fiji,” Mr Ohri said.
“In parallel, we are aiming for national outsourcing revenues to reach $465m.
“That figure represents more than income, it reflects confidence from global markets, trust in our capability, and proof that Fiji can compete and win in higher value service segments,” he said.
Outsource Fiji executive director Josefa Wivou said the 15,000 headcounts by 2030 across the industry was an ambitious target – a revised version of what they hoped for initially, understudying what the present trends in industry and sector was experiencing.
He said the industry was currently worth about $269m based on statistics at the end of 2025.
“Our projections, by 2030 it’ll be just shy of $450m,” Mr Wivou said in response to a question from this newspaper.
“This is about moving from potential to performance. We want to see a sector that is measurable, a workforce that is growing with purpose, and revenues that reflect real global confidence in what Fiji can deliver.”
Mr Wivou said the industry was not only contributing to employment, it was also building skills, confidence, and global exposure for the people.
“At Outsource Fiji, we remain focused on moving this momentum forward. We are committed to positioning Fiji as a preferred outsourcing destination.
“We are working closely with our members to build capacity, create more exposure and lift standards across the industry.”
Meanwhile, Mr Ohri said the industry had evolved with the sector moving into more complex, knowledge driven, and technology enabled services, adding their secretariat must also grow with that shift.
