Outsourcing and in particular data annotation services are developing rapidly in Africa, with significant growth rates expected to continue for the next 10 years.
By purchasing services from players in this growing market, companies can access a pool of talented specialists who offer high-quality services, particularly data annotation (image annotation, video annotation, ...) and content moderation services for artificial intelligence purposes. For companies looking to optimize their costs while maintaining a high level of quality, Africa is a promising option to build a network of providers capable of producing the massive data required to train AI models.
Thecase of Madagascar: a future leader in Data Annotation Outsourcing?
Madagascar is becoming a major player in the field of outsourcing of Data Labeling for Artificial Intelligence. With its French and English speaking population skilled in technology and languages, Madagascar has become an attractive choice for companies looking to outsource. Malagasy data labelers are highly skilled and trained in the market's labeling platforms such as CVAT, LabelBox, Label Studio, Roboflow or V7 Labs.
Madagascar has thus become a privileged destination for Data Labeling outsourcing services, contributing to the country's economic development while offering employment and growth opportunities for young Malagasy workers.

ExternalizingAI data labeling tasks in Madagascar: what benefits ?
For a long time, outsourcing to India or the Philippines was the norm. In recent years, Africa has experienced significant growth in the field, and has become an attractive destination thanks to numerous investments and local policies encouraging the development of the Tech sector.
Outsourcing to Madagascar has several distinct advantages over outsourcing to the Philippines or India. First, Madagascar has a bilingual population proficient in French and English, which is an asset for both French and English speaking companies. This makes it easier to communicate and understand the specific requirements of Data Labeling.
In terms of costs, Madagascar offers skilled labor at competitive rates, often more affordable than the Philippines or India. This allows companies to save on expenses while benefiting from an excellent level of quality. Finally, outsourcing to Madagascar contributes to the country's economic development, creating employment opportunities and stimulating growth in the IT sector.
Madagascar has an excellent Internet connection, making it an ideal choice for outsourcing data labelling services.
Over the years, the country has invested in the development of its Internet infrastructure (Fiber). The main Internet providers on the island (Orange, Telma, ...) offer very high speed connections and a wide coverage. The quality of the connection is often superior to European standards: the fluidity of the connection facilitates coordination and ensures that deadlines are met. Madagascar's solid Internet infrastructure reinforces its position as a destination of choice for Data Labeling outsourcing.
