Drivers

• Emerging Social Media Trends

Companies with social media skills can now handle social media inquiries to evaluate their brands' value and impact, as well as to cut expenses and complexity related to abandoned queries and client turnovers. Identifying social media influencers, emotions, feelings, and brand image through social media helps improve the general effectiveness of contact center agents and the services or goods they can give. Consequently, this factor will further accelerate the market expansion over the forecast period.

Business process automation will also enhance employee agility and overall organisational performance by offering actionable data for customer insights.

• Growth in Technological Advancements

The business landscape and current company practises are being altered by technological advancements. There is no exemption to this regulation for call centres. It is an optimistic sector, particularly now that more companies are beginning to recognise the value of implementing stronger customer-specific models to strengthen client relationships and boost sales. Call centre operations should be made more efficient by increased investment in and adoption of cutting-edge technologies like chatbots, automation, and artificial intelligence. Over the course of the investigation, this aspect is likely to fuel the growth of the global call centre market.

Furthermore, factors such as increasing urbanization levels and government support for the digital economy will accelerate the overall market expansion during the forecast period. Additionally, the rapid telecommunications, cloud computing, and IoT advancements is anticipated to drive the growth rate of the call center platforms market.

Opportunities

• Growing Preference for Cloud-based Contact Center Solutions

The growing utilizing cloud-based contact centers is estimated to generate lucrative opportunities for the market, which will further expand the call center platforms market's growth rate in the future. Agents can communicate from any location and get real-time access to customer information via cloud-based technologies. Additionally, cloud-based contact center solutions do not require full-time employees to work physically, enabling agents to be employed from any location. The enhanced system dependability and secure offers of cloud-based contact center services also appeal to businesses. In order to increase security, contact center system vendors build an active architecture where end-use infrastructure processing is divided between two sites.

• Adoption of Technologies

Additionally, the several enterprises are largely adopting various technologies, which further offers numerous growth opportunities within the market. A number of businesses have embraced interactive voice response (IVR) technology since it lowers the cost of live call attending services. It removes the requirement for clients to specify which department executive they want to speak with, enabling the system or software to route a customer's call to the proper professional immediately via voice instructions.

Restraints/Challenges

• High Cost

The older and smaller call centers still rely on PRI phone services to prevent call drops due to data bandwidth constraints and achieve excellent quality via a dedicated line structure. 23 voice channels are available through PRI, and they can all be used at once. Only 23 channels, however, can be made available at any given time if a business has to access a high number of Direct Inward Dialing (DID) numbers. This necessitates the installation of additional PRI circuits, which raises the cost of overhead. The high cost further decreases the adoption rate, which will hamper the market’s overall growth rate.

• Issues associated with Data Privacy and Security

The extensive storing of client data puts contact centers constantly at risk. The client data safety and privacy is very important and the rising concerns regarding the issues associated with data privacy and security is therefore estimated to be significant challenge for the call center platforms market over the forecast period.
