The rising adoption of cloud-based contact centers is notably driving the market growth, although factors such as the inability to achieve an ASA may impede the contact center software market growth. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
The rising adoption of cloud-based contact centers is notably driving the IT services market growth. A cloud-based contact center is a SaaS that is deployed, stored, and precisely designed for cloud solutions. Cloud-based contact centers are flexible as they are able to quickly adapt to the changing business needs and can be integrated with third-party applications through open application programming interface (API) frameworks.
A reliable cloud-based solution can handle outbound, inbound, and blended interaction seamlessly, which will help in providing personalized services to customers easily and in a cost-effective manner. With cloud-based contact centers, enterprises can aggregate customer data and the history of previous queries, which can help them understand customer preferences. This can help enterprises personalize services, effectively route inquiries, and solve problems within one interactive session. This will lead to an increase in the adoption of cloud-based contact centers during the forecast period.
The integration of chatbots for better turnaround times is the key market trend driving the global contact center software market growth. The contact centers are trying to implement chatbots in their processes because, in the future, they must look for options other than human agents to handle simple customer queries and provide better resolutions. Good customer service can lead to the success of a business.
Chatbots will help enterprises in giving instant responses to customers, which will lead to better turnaround times. Since time is of utmost importance while attending to a customer, chatbots will skip the dependency on the repair personnel and will give responses directly to the customers. Chatbots will also help enterprises delight their customers without losing the human touch. Thus, the integration of chatbots into contact centers will help in improving the customer experience. Hence, it will lead to an increase in the adoption of contact center solutions.
The inability to achieve an ASA is the major challenge impeding the global business process outsourcing market growth. An ASA is the key performance indicator for contact centers, which helps managers in assessing their team s performance and the efficiency of their callers.
An ASA includes the amount of time a customer waits in line and the time the agent s phone is ringing. However, it does not include the time taken for customers to navigate through IVR. Contact centers should use workforce management (WFM) solutions to manage their resources so that they can meet the desired ASA and service levels. Owing to the growing customer expectations for better services, this problem is a huge challenge for the vendors of contact center solutions.

It focuses on adoption rates in different regions based on penetration. Furthermore, the report also includes key purchase criteria and drivers of price sensitivity to help companies evaluate and develop their growth strategies.
