Definition :
The Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) market refers to the transfer of entire business processes or individual activities from a company to a third party and is often IT based. BPO covers a wide variety of business processes, usually either in the back office (e.g., human resources) or in the front office (e.g., customer service in call centers). A distinction is made between horizontal and vertical outsourcing. Horizontal BPO combines function-centric as well as cross-sector and cross-industry services, such as human resources management or payroll accounting. Vertical BPO, on the other hand, focuses on specialized services and is especially appealing to customers from the financial services industry, the healthcare sector, the manufacturing industry, or the retail sector.

Hungary is becoming an increasingly popular destination for Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) services. The BPO market in Hungary is experiencing significant growth due to several factors.
Customer preferences: Companies are increasingly looking to outsource their non-core business processes to specialized service providers in order to reduce costs and increase efficiency. Hungary's skilled workforce, favorable tax policies, and competitive labor costs make it an attractive location for BPO services. Additionally, the country's strategic location in Central Europe allows for easy access to both Western and Eastern European markets.

As companies expand into new markets, they require customer service and support in multiple languages. Hungary's highly educated workforce is proficient in a variety of languages, making it an ideal location for multilingual BPO services.Another trend is the increasing adoption of automation and artificial intelligence (AI) in BPO services. Automation can help reduce costs and increase efficiency, while AI can improve the quality of customer service and support. Hungary's strong technology sector and skilled workforce make it well-positioned to offer these types of services.
Local special circumstances: Hungary has a long history of providing high-quality education in technical fields, which has helped to create a skilled and highly educated workforce. Additionally, the country's favorable tax policies and competitive labor costs make it an attractive location for foreign investment.
Underlying macroeconomic factors: Hungary's economy has been growing steadily in recent years, with a focus on attracting foreign investment and promoting innovation. The government has implemented policies to support the growth of the technology sector, which has helped to attract BPO service providers to the country. Additionally, Hungary's membership in the European Union provides access to a large market and favorable trading conditions.
