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.

Myanmar, also known as Burma, is a country in Southeast Asia with a population of over 54 million people. The country's Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) market has been steadily developing over the years due to various factors.
Customer preferences: Myanmar's BPO market has been primarily driven by the demand for voice-based services such as customer support and telemarketing. This is because the country has a large pool of English-speaking individuals who are willing to work in the BPO industry. Additionally, the cost of labor in Myanmar is relatively low compared to other countries in the region, making it an attractive destination for outsourcing.
Trends in the market: In recent years, there has been a trend towards non-voice services such as data entry, accounting, and IT services. This is due to the increasing availability of skilled workers in Myanmar who are proficient in these areas. Furthermore, the government has been actively promoting the development of the country's IT sector, which has led to the growth of IT-related BPO services.
Local special circumstances: Myanmar has a unique set of challenges that affect its BPO market. The country has a relatively underdeveloped telecommunications infrastructure, which makes it difficult for BPO companies to provide reliable internet and telephone services. Additionally, the country is still in the process of developing its legal and regulatory framework, which can make it difficult for BPO companies to operate.
Underlying macroeconomic factors: Myanmar's BPO market is closely tied to the country's overall economic development. The country has been experiencing steady economic growth in recent years, which has led to an increase in the demand for outsourcing services. Additionally, the government has been actively promoting foreign investment in the country, which has led to the growth of the BPO market. However, the country still faces challenges such as political instability and corruption, which can affect the growth of the BPO market in the long term.
