Introduction

Brazil is emerging as an important delivery destination for global services. It is classified as a mature location on Everest Group’s Market Vista Locations Maturity Heatmap. With its large graduate pool, huge domestic market, and complex IT skills advantage, Brazil offers an attractive proposition for organizations seeking a suitable destination to set up new delivery centers. The focus of the companies setting up delivery centers remains on serving the domestic market, however, offshore delivery support (particularly for North America) is also provided from the same centers. Several government initiatives, such as Plano Miaor, have led to significant activity in Brazil’s outsourcing industry. At the same time, challenges related to cost sustainability may impact the nature of global service delivery from this location.

In this research, we analyze Brazil as a destination for global service providers and buyers, across various dimensions:

  • IT-BPO services landscape across market characteristics
  • Player activity
  • Key industry / government bodies promoting its growth
  • Education system
  • Market activity landscape, labor pool, cost, market activity, and risk analysis for key cities
  • Future outlook
  • Implications for buyers and service providers
