The demand for Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) services in Southeast Asia has been steadily increasing in recent years.
Customer preferences: Many companies in developed countries are choosing to outsource their non-core business processes to Southeast Asian countries due to the cost savings. Additionally, Southeast Asian countries have a large pool of English-speaking talent, making it an attractive destination for English-language customer service outsourcing.
Trends in the market: The Philippines has emerged as a major player in the BPO market, with its strong English-language skills and relatively low labor costs. The country's BPO industry has seen significant growth in recent years, particularly in the areas of call center services and back-office operations. Vietnam is also beginning to emerge as a strong contender in the BPO market, with its young and highly skilled workforce and competitive labor costs.
Local special circumstances: Indonesia, with its large population of over 270 million people, has a rapidly growing middle class that is driving demand for BPO services. The country's BPO industry is focused on providing services to the domestic market, particularly in the areas of finance and accounting, IT support, and customer service.
Underlying macroeconomic factors: The growth of the BPO market in Southeast Asia can be attributed to several underlying macroeconomic factors, including favorable government policies, a young and highly skilled workforce, and a low cost of living. Additionally, the region's close proximity to major markets such as China and India makes it an attractive destination for companies looking to expand their operations in the Asia-Pacific region.

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.Mon - Fri, 9am - 6pm (EST)
