The global CCO market grew at ~3% to reach US$78-80 billion in 2016. The year 2016 continued to witness the move toward digitalization, which has had a profound impact on the buyer requirements. The last 12-18 months have witnessed numerous instances of mergers and acquisitions across the CCO landscape, with service providers focusing on strengthening delivery capabilities beyond just scale enhancement, and concentrating on driving differentiated offerings in the market. This has also led to changes in the solution characteristics that we witness in the market – shift towards balanced shoring, increased adoption of multi-channel solutions, increased emphasis on value-added services, and increased investments in analytics, automation, and next-generation solutions such as Robotic Process Automation (RPA) and cognitive solutions.
