Analyst Opinion

The Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) market in Ethiopia is experiencing significant growth in recent years.

Customer preferences:
One of the key drivers of growth in the BPO market in Ethiopia is the increasing demand for cost-effective and high-quality services from international clients. Ethiopia's large and young population provides a significant pool of talent, particularly in the areas of IT and customer service, making it an attractive destination for outsourcing.

Trends in the market:
The BPO market in Ethiopia is primarily focused on providing voice-based services such as call center support, telemarketing, and customer service. However, there is also growing interest in non-voice services such as data entry, transcription, and software development. The government is also taking steps to promote the growth of the BPO industry, such as establishing technology parks and offering tax incentives to BPO companies.

Local special circumstances:
Ethiopia's BPO market is still in its early stages, but it has significant potential for growth. The country has a large and young population, with a growing middle class, which provides a significant pool of talent for the BPO industry. Additionally, the government is actively promoting the growth of the BPO industry, which is expected to attract more foreign investment and create more job opportunities.

Underlying macroeconomic factors:
Ethiopia's economy has been growing rapidly in recent years, with a focus on developing its infrastructure and attracting foreign investment. The government has identified the BPO industry as a key area for growth, and is taking steps to support its development. Additionally, Ethiopia's location and time zone make it an attractive destination for companies looking to outsource services to Africa. However, the country still faces challenges such as a lack of infrastructure and a shortage of skilled workers, which could limit the growth of the BPO industry in the short term.

Modeling approach / Market size:

Market sizes are determined through a combined top-down and bottom-up approach, building on a specific rationale for each market segment. As a basis for evaluating markets, we use annual financial reports of key players in the industry, Statista's primary research and surveys, and IT associations. In addition, we use relevant key market indicators and data from country-specific associations, such as GDP, internet users, and telecommunication. This data helps us estimate the market size for each country individually.

Forecasts:

In our forecasts, we apply diverse forecasting techniques. The selection of forecasting techniques is based on the behavior of the relevant market. For example, the exponential trend smoothing method is used based on the market data characteristics. The main drivers are the GDP and its sector composition, internet penetration, the level of digitization, and the attitude toward IT security.

Additional notes:

The data is modeled using current exchange rates. The market is updated twice a year in case market dynamics change. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war is considered at a country-specific level.
