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.

The Business Process Outsourcing market in Mauritius has been rapidly developing in recent years.
Customer preferences: Mauritius has become a popular destination for outsourcing services due to its skilled workforce, low labor costs, and favorable time zone. The country's bilingual population, with proficiency in English and French, has made it an attractive location for businesses looking to outsource their customer service and back-office operations. Additionally, the country's stable political and economic environment has increased confidence among investors.
Trends in the market: The BPO market in Mauritius has been experiencing steady growth over the past few years, with a particular focus on the financial services sector. Many international financial institutions have established operations in Mauritius, attracted by the country's favorable tax regime and regulatory framework. The BPO industry in Mauritius has also been diversifying into other sectors, including healthcare, logistics, and information technology.
Local special circumstances: One of the unique features of the BPO market in Mauritius is the government's support for the industry. The government has implemented policies to attract foreign investment and promote the development of the BPO industry. For example, the Board of Investment offers a range of incentives to companies looking to establish operations in Mauritius, including tax holidays, duty-free imports, and subsidies for training and recruitment.
Underlying macroeconomic factors: The growth of the BPO market in Mauritius is closely linked to the country's broader economic development. Mauritius has been transitioning from an agricultural-based economy to a services-based economy, with the BPO industry playing an important role in this transition. The BPO industry has contributed to job creation and increased foreign investment, which has helped to diversify the economy and reduce dependence on traditional sectors such as sugar and textiles. Additionally, the growth of the BPO industry has helped to position Mauritius as a hub for business and finance in the region.
