Colonnade Advisors' Latest White Paper Highlights Favorable Trends for the $23 Billion U.S. Contact Center Industry

CHICAGO, June 13, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- The U.S.-based outsourced contact center operations (CCO) industry is growing due to several macro-level changes, from shifts in the U.S. economy to advances in technology and rising global labor rates. In addition, companies across different industry verticals currently "in-house" their contact center activities, presenting a compelling growth opportunity for the already large and expanding $23.0 billion U.S.-based outsourced CCO market.

• Leading CCO industries: telecom, information technology, banking, finance, retail
• Leading CCO services: customer service, telemarketing, technical support
• Percentage of contact centers with remote employees has more than doubled over the last decade
• Most new jobs created and new sites opened were in the Southeast and Southwest United States

Significant interest from both strategic players and private equity firms will drive M&A activity in the U.S. CCO market as dozens of middle market providers and tech-enabled entrants present roll up opportunities in the industry. We expect M&A activity and valuations will remain high for the next several years, but interest will diminish as consolidators build their platforms to scale, eventually dampening acquisition activity and valuation levels.
