According to a new report by UnivDatos, the Africa Business Process Outsourcing Market is expected to reach USD million in 2033 by growing at a CAGR of 4.00% during the forecast period (2025-2033F). The African Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) market is undergoing massive growth owing to the rising pace of demand for efficient and cost-effective outsourcing in different sectors like finance, healthcare, telecommunication, and customer service. The competitive edge of the continent is its young and multi-tongued labor force, fast-emerging digital infrastructure, which allows African countries to become important participants in the global outsourcing market. The use of new technologies, including AI, automation, and data analytics, is upgrading the functions of the BPO providers, making conventional customer service models more active and value-driven. This has been making African BPO companies acquire momentum not only in the traditional segments but also in high-tech ones, such as fintech, e-commerce, and services with AI.

Segments that transform the industry
