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.

New Zealand, known for its breathtaking landscapes and an economy that is heavily reliant on agriculture, tourism, and international trade, has been experiencing a steady growth in the Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) market.
Customer preferences: New Zealand has a small population of about five million people, and this has led to a high demand for outsourcing services, particularly in the customer service sector. With the rise of e-commerce and online shopping, more New Zealanders are now looking for hassle-free and convenient ways to shop, and this has led to an increase in demand for customer service support.
Trends in the market: The BPO market in New Zealand is expected to grow due to the rise of digitalization and automation. As companies continue to adopt new technologies to streamline their operations, they are looking for ways to cut costs and improve efficiency. Outsourcing is becoming an attractive option for businesses looking to achieve these goals. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the growth of the BPO market in New Zealand, as more companies look for ways to operate remotely and cut costs.
Local special circumstances: New Zealand's location and time zone have made it an attractive destination for outsourcing services. It is located in a convenient time zone for businesses in Australia and Asia, making it easier for them to communicate and collaborate with outsourcing providers in New Zealand. Additionally, New Zealand has a highly educated workforce that is proficient in English, which makes it an ideal destination for customer service and other language-based outsourcing services.
Underlying macroeconomic factors: New Zealand's economy has been growing steadily over the years, and this has led to an increase in the number of companies looking to outsource their non-core business processes. The government has been supportive of the BPO industry, offering tax incentives and other benefits to attract outsourcing providers to the country. Additionally, New Zealand has a stable political environment and a business-friendly regulatory framework, which makes it an attractive destination for outsourcing services.
