Panel: State of the Philippine BPO Industry—Developments and Projections

The Everest Research Institute recently projected that by 2012 the potential global business process outsourcing (BPO) market would be $220-280 billion, with 90% of this market in non-voice services. The Philippine business process outsourcing (BPO) industry aims to capture 10 percent of the penetrated global BPO market by 2010 and is expected to grow by 20-30% this year. The most recent BPA/P-O2P survey, however, shows that Philippine BPO companies have been affected by the global financial crisis. Most often, that impact has been in demand. The panel discussion provides perspective from seven senior executives representing key BPO sectors.
