Offshore services refer to activities carried out abroad, often in countries where production costs are lower. This includes areas such as outsourced services (e.g. customer support, software development) and manufacturing production.
Onshore services, on the other hand, refer to activities carried out within the company’s home country. This can include local services, which facilitate communication and operations management.
In short, the term “offshore” refers to services performed abroad, while “onshore” refers to those performed locally.
