Western European Key Horizontal Business Outsourcing Services (BOS) Market 2007 and Forecast 2008-2012

Abstract

Demand in Western Europe for core BPO and processing services continues to grow at a healthy rate. IDC is forecasting a CAGR of 11.9% for the period between 2007 and 2012. For all BOS (business outsourcing services), IDC is forecasting a lower CAGR of 8.6% during this period, largely as a result of slow growth in HR processing services.

This IDC study gives decision makers information on:

• The size of the opportunity for providing BOS, BPO, and processing services in Western Europe in 2007 and for the following five years.
• IDC' s predictions and assumptions relating to the demand-side and supply-side drivers shaping the Western European BOS services market, and what impact they have on market development.
• Key recommendations for vendors from IDC for maintaining and growing BOS services revenues in the coming years.
