The reason is that Bangladeshi web developer firms are actively involved in getting offshore projects. Once a firm gets going, it does not have to depend on local market anymore.

Only 20% firms generate majority of their revenue from local sales indicate the immature web industry and culture here in Bangladesh. Otherwise, there is no reason why firms cannot succeed in the local market whereas they are highly successful dealing globally. However, the demand of web technology is increasing rapidly in the country.

Earning from website ads are possible only when there are large number of users to follow. It is the most difficult among the three revenue-generating ways and 15% of the firms here depends on advertisement-driven returns.  However, it points out that Bangladeshi firms have also started to join the global trend of website-generated income that is, earning from showing ads in websites.
