The global service industry has witnessed a dynamic shift with the advancement of the information and communication technology. Outsourcing business processes enables organizations to cut costs by shifting operations to nearshore or offshore locations, leveraging a low-cost and dynamic talent pool to meet business requirements. Additionally, the rising adoption of cloud-based services, artificial intelligence, and robotic process automation in the BPO sector is expected to favor market growth in the coming years. Online interactions, cross-channel campaigns, and omnichannel communications are expected to be pivotal in improving customer engagement processes.

Additionally, globalization and the expansion of businesses into new markets are fueling the need for scalable and cost-effective solutions, further propelling the market's growth.
