Poised for Growth: Nigeria’s Burgeoning BPO and Customer Experience Industry
Nigeria is quickly emerging as an ideal location for the delivery of business process, customer experience and contact centre outsourced services to the global and domestic markets. Noted for being Africa’s largest economy, the country has a heavy reliance on natural resources, especially the export of oil. Therefore, there is a need to diversify the economy and capitalize on opportunities in the business process outsourcing (BPO) and customer experience (CX) industry.
The size of the BPO/CX businesses are relatively small, most of which employ 51 to 100 call/contact centre agents, indicating the developing stages of Nigeria’s outsourcing and offshoring market. However, there are larger service providers with 800 to 1000 frontline, specialist and back-office agents, such as Outsource Global, who is servicing markets such as Japan, the United States and the United Kingdom.
