Summary
The business process outsourcing industry sustained strong momentum through the first half of 2022, even as rising inflation and geopolitical instability weighed on broader markets, driven by diversified client portfolios, strategic acquisitions, and continued demand for digitalised services.
Leading providers are increasingly winning clients by embedding AI, robotic process automation, and natural language understanding into complex processes rather than competing purely on labour cost, with content moderation, AI training data, and AI-powered wealth management workflows highlighted as fast-growing service lines. A wave of acquisitions across the sector reflects a push to extend customer experience offerings across the full customer journey, alongside continued geographic expansion into new markets across Europe, Africa, and Asia to secure multilingual talent.
Employee wellbeing and inclusion programs, remote-work infrastructure, and community initiatives run in partnership with organisations such as UNICEF round out a picture of an industry investing in its workforce even as it scales. Despite currency headwinds and the wind-down of pandemic-era support contracts, providers show a consistent willingness to experiment with emerging technology ahead of other industries.
- Trends: AI and RPA adoption, acquisition-led expansion, multilingual geographic growth, and workforce wellbeing investment
- Providers referenced: Concentrix, Genpact, Majorel, TaskUs, Teleperformance, and TDCX
