I am not in a position to answer the first part of your request. Industry stats are better supplied by somebody else.
Probably the hottest thing in EDI at this moment is being called on-shoring. For several years now, corporate strategists in the US and Western European nations have been outsourcing EDI and IT to third-world nations because of the lower cost. What they did not count on was the fact that they have given up far more in terms of flexibility, customer satisfaction, etc. than they have gained. It often requires more in terms of coordination with the off-shore provider than the original savings. Moreover, customers subjected to off-shore support are bolting for alternate suppliers who care enough to hire people who speak their language, and understand their culture. Add to that the fact than certain elements of the work that has been outsourced, especially EDI, are poorly understood by many off-shore outsource firms. There have also been instances of off-shore providers ignoring privacy laws that were meant to protect the client's customers. All this creates the ideal enviornment for on-shoring, where savvy western corporations are reordering their operations to be handled either in-house, or by outsourcing firms in their own countries. I hope this helps.
