In 2018, the global temporary labor market was worth USD 436.42 trillion. The market is expected to grow at 6.4% between 2019 and 2025. As incumbents in various industries such as construction, healthcare, logistics and information technology (IT), have deployed temporary workers to various expansion projects, the market has seen significant growth. Due to the increasing number of smart cities projects launched by different governments, the demand for temporary labor will increase in the future. This will drive the market during the forecast period.
Employers who choose to use temporary labor services have many benefits. They can reduce their costs of hiring, as well as save on training and employee benefits costs. Organizations can also choose to deploy these workers on non-core jobs and redirect their resources towards core duties. These benefits will encourage organizations to seek short-term labor services.
Enterprises are often faced with a shortage of workers, especially during peak times or when there is another pressing need. In such cases, organizations tend to use temporary labor services. As technology advances, so does the need for skilled workers in software application, design engineering, digital marketing and other areas. This gap can be bridged by temporary workers.
Temporary workers are available for many purposes. These workers are often employed by companies to maintain older infrastructure. Short-term workers can also be employed in retail shops, where footfall tends to rise during holidays and festive season. To meet the growing demand for online shopping-related delivery services, temporary workers are also available.
Temporary workers can cause insecurity in permanent employees and demoralize them. This is detrimental to the organization's growth. These workers are often deployed to customer service, particularly in cases where customers feel comfortable with particular sales agents or personnel. These factors will likely limit market growth.
The market is segmented by labor type into unskilled and clerical, management and skilled. With a market share of 60.0%, the clerical segment was dominant in 2018. Employers in various industries such as manufacturing, insurance and retail prefer to hire experienced clerical workers for short assignments or for different positions. These positions include general office clerks, secretaries and typists.
Both service- and manufacturing companies are also appointing temporary managers to help analyze and organise current operations and improve productivity. This will help to grow the management segment. Manufacturing companies are now hiring temporary workers to align their products and services with changing customer demands. These trends will benefit the labor market's growth over the forecast period.
Manufacturing prefers to hire temporary workers to meet peak demand and seasonal fluctuations. Manufacturers of clothing, chemicals, electrical equipment and furniture are all part of the manufacturing sector. As these manufacturers seek out such services to maintain uninterrupted production, the manufacturing segment is expected to be the largest in the temporary labor market.
A growing number of people over 65 and the increasing prevalence of many diseases is driving demand for nurses who can be employed on a temporary basis to provide high-quality in-house care. In-house medical consultations are increasing and so is the demand for temporary medical staff. Over the forecast period, healthcare is expected to experience a significant CAGR.
With a market value of USD 149.61 trillion, Europe was the dominant global market. The region's growth has been supported by a rising demand for temporary workers in the automotive manufacturing industry. This market will grow as there are more small and medium businesses (SMEs) in the area. These SMEs are keen to hire temporary workers to lower their hiring costs.
Asia Pacific is forecast to experience significant growth during the forecast period. The region's governments are constantly launching national healthcare programs that will increase the demand for temporary workers and foster the market's growth. The Government of India, for example, has launched several health care programs, including Pradhan Mantri Swethya Suraksha Yojana, National Vector Borne Disease Control Programme, and National Aids Control Programme.
