Web development (market of Belarus)

2016: 90% of the Belarusian market of web developments are in shadow circulation

The annual volume of the Belarusian market of web developments is estimated at 100 million dollars from which only 10 million earn the public companies doing legal business in the republic.

"The market of web developments in Belarus is estimated at 100 million dollars. At the same time only 10% of this amount fall to the share of public web studios. It is money which spends the Belarusian companies for web developments within a year. The rest is in house and a share of developers which create complete solutions, and not just websites" — the founder of online projects in the field of advertizing and marketing Sergey Skorokhod^[1] told Digital.Report^[2].

He noted that the market of web developments in the country did not reach the enlargement level when several companies control its considerable part.

Among negative points which can interfere with market development of web developments and its exit from a shadow – decrease in demand for services of developers.

"Demand for web development not really high. All companies which reached creation of websites already made them. In the country even there passed the second wave which pushed all to processing of web resources, creation of the adaptive websites. And what to do next? Consciousness of Belarusians did not reach development of difficult web projects yet. But on the Internet business develops, mobile applications appeared and, in general, it is possible to move further. Now we stopped in development, but breakthrough will be certain. And web studios will not be web studios, and will become the digital-companies" — the Baynet's Rating project manager Anna Hodanovich told Digital.Report.

The web developer Sergey Klimovich, considers that the current situation in the market of the republic develops for benefit of "shadow" developers who can successfully compete for orders with the companies which have a big staff and tax liabilities before the state.

"The big companies have big budget requests. The Belarusian companies do not want to spend 20-40 thousand dollars let and for development of the modern website any more. In the country crisis, therefore before that who have a need for creation of the website, only two ways – to make it independently based on available engines or to order on the "grey" party for money which does not consider taxes and official salaries. If nothing changes, the market of web developments and will remain in "shadow" — he noted.
