(IDC) <br>\nsaid in a report.<\/p>\n<p>Asia, particularly India, is a key source of professionals for <br>\nthe information technology (IT) industry in North America.<\/p>\n<p>\"Growth is expected to be much stronger in (the) Asia Pacific <br>\nthan in North America over the next five years, particularly in <br>\nthe world's largest countries, China and India,\" IDC said.<\/p>\n<p>There were 7.8 million IT developers in 2001 and the figure is <br>\nprojected to rise to 13.3 million by 2006, IDC said.<\/p>\n<p>Asia had 1.7 million developers at the end of 2001, it said.<\/p>\n<p>The drop in the number of IT professionals in North America <br>\nwas also partly due to the slump in the technology sector there, <br>\nIDC said.<\/p>\n<p>\"The growth in the number of worldwide developers has been <br>\naffected dramatically by the economic downturn and actually <br>\ncaused a decline in the number of employed professional <br>\ndevelopers in North America from 2000 to 2001,\" IDC said.<\/p>\n<p>\"This comes as no surprise since the economic downturn has <br>\nresulted in extensive layoffs among IT workers,\" it said.<\/p>\n<p>IDC defines a professional developer as one who uses <br>\napplication development tools to build applications and those who <br>\nfall under the category include computer programmers, systems <br>\nanalysts and database administrators.<\/p>",
