Payoneer tapped 2,000 freelancers from 122 countries, and almost half (46%) answered that the demand for their services increased compared to the previous year. Over half (55%) have taken on more work, while roughly the same number (41%) have raised their rates. Many freelancers (32%) have also expanded their client base to new countries.
Over two-thirds (68%) believe that demand for their talent will further grow in 2023. According to the report, fields like programming, marketing, project management, and web design continue to be sought-after fields.
The rise of freelance agencies
Demand is so high that freelance agencies have popped up to offer the services of a group of subcontractors. Agencies have many benefits for both clients and freelancers. Businesses can access a vetted pool of subcontractors, while freelancers can focus on the task at hand.
Starting an agency is just one of the topics discussed at Tech Trends: Gig Economy, a webinar hosted by the Department Of Information and Communications Technology last March 27, 2023.
The webinar featured women leaders who are making their mark in the freelance economy, such as Lorna Bondoc, founder and chief experience officer of YOVEO Digital; Le-an Lai Lacaba, chief executive officer and co-founder of 2xYou Executive Services; and Britzee Capili, the small- and medium-sized business (SMB) sales lead of Payoneer.
