SCOPE OF THE REPORT
This report focuses on the call centre markets in the
Greater China area (mainland China, Hong Kong and
Taiwan) and Singapore. As the Greater China area and
Singapore are affected by the current financial crisis in
the region to a much less extent than other countries in
the region, it is expected that call centre markets in
Greater China and Singapore will grow more rapidly than
other markets in the Asian-Pacific region.
Greater China and Singapore is by no means a single
market for call centre usage. However, a comprehensive
study covering the whole Greater China area and
Singapore will demonstrate the combined market size,
major driving forces of the market in the region and
potential market opportunities in the vertical sectors
across the country markets.
'Call Centers in Greater China and Singapore' exposes
the size of the call centre market in the region,
identifying the key growth markets by country, vertical
markets and horizontal application and technology.
To examine market maturity and forecast growth
potential, comparative analysis is carried out in this
report, which not only involves the four country markets
(China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Singapore), but also the
US and UK market in some important aspects.
Comparative analysis is conducted for the following
variables:
- Average number of agent positions per 100 population;
- Market structure of vertical sectors;
- Changes in horizontal applications;
- Sophistication of the call centre technologies.
In addition, this report provides forecasts of the call
centre market growth in the Greater China area and
Singapore to year 2002 with detailed analysis of growth
trends in each vertical sector of country markets.
