Introduction

The global insurance BPO market has grown steadily over the last three years to reach ~US$2.3 billion. Higher proportion of new contract signings as compared to renewals and extensions highlight longer term of insurance BPO contracts and the increasing penetration of insurance BPO into newer geographies. Although the overall value proposition of insurance BPO is driven by cost reduction, rising demand for complex work is slowly turning focus towards process efficiency and effectiveness.
