Romanian software and SaaS: the market context
Romania has one of the largest software engineering bases in Central and Eastern Europe, and the numbers behind it are substantial: the software and IT-services industry passed 17.7 billion euros in turnover in 2024, built on a talent pool of roughly 200,000 ICT specialists and decades of experience delivering for Western European and US clients. The sector spans custom development and outsourcing, product SaaS, and the technology consulting that grew out of Romania's long run as an engineering-services destination. Bucharest, Cluj-Napoca, Timișoara and Iași are the main hubs.
Software has no single licensing regulator the way banking has one, so the anchor is the industry's own institutions plus the EU framework it works under. ANIS, the Employers' Association of the Software and Services Industry, has represented the sector since 1998 and speaks for around two-thirds of the Romanian IT industry; it is the closest thing to an authoritative national voice. On the regulatory side, Romanian software firms operate under GDPR, and ANCOM serves as Romania's Digital Services Coordinator under the EU Digital Services Act. For firms building for financial clients, the EU's Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) matters too, since it governs the ICT outsourcing that Romanian vendors so often provide.
For a buyer, the useful distinction is what kind of software relationship you are buying. Romania's base splits between outsourcing and custom-development houses — where you are buying engineering capacity and delivery — and product companies selling their own SaaS. Read the cell with that lens, because the diligence differs: for an outsourcing partner you weigh delivery track record and DORA-readiness if finance is involved; for a product firm you weigh the product. Note one live piece of context: Romania ended its long-standing income-tax exemption for IT workers on 1 January 2025, which is expected to push salaries and rates toward the regional average over time. For a Western European buyer the nearshoring case still holds — shared time zones, EU jurisdiction and established delivery protocols make Romanian teams easier to integrate than offshore alternatives, and the end of the tax break changes the price gap more than the fundamentals.
The sovereignty case rests on where the engineering and the data sit. A Romanian, European-owned software firm operates under EU law with data under GDPR and no non-European parent, which matters most for the regulated-industry work — banking, insurance, public sector — where Romanian vendors are well established and where DORA has required demonstrable control over ICT third parties since January 2025. For a buyer replacing a US outsourcing relationship with a European one, Romania offers scale and depth that few other European markets can match at comparable cost.
