Despite the rapid expansion, India is only the second largest BPO market in the world, according to the report. The country with the largest business process outsourcing market is Australia, which is more than three times as large as the BPO market in India.
Banking and financial services, communications, government, technology and travel and transportation were the largest BPO services consumers in the region. Singh says that global and regional mergers have contributed to India’s outsourcing growth.
“There was significant consolidation in the global and regional BPO market in 2009 and 2010 with some large merger and acquisition deals impacting the regional BPO service provider landscape,” Singh said.
