Long considered a global outsourcing superpower, the Philippines sees an even larger expansion in its business process outsourcing (BPO) industry. According to the Information Technology and Business Process Association of the Philippines (IBPAP), this current growth pace may generate revenues predicted to surpass remittances from overseas Filipino workers.

Experts are also confident that BPO services in the Philippines can hit up to $25 billion in annual revenues by 2016, as the industry s progress reaches double-digit rates. The industry is forecast to earn $21.2 billion by the end of 2015, which is 12% higher than its $18.9-billion worth of revenues in 2014.

Furthermore, the IT organization said that revenues from the Philippine BPO sector may reach $28.9 billion by 2017, exceeding the amount of foreign exchange coming from approximately 10 million Filipinos in other countries. In comparison, overseas remittances generated $24.3 billion in 2014 with its decreasing growth rate of 5.9%.

To prepare for this foreseen growth, IBPAP is planning to craft a new six-year industry roadmap as the current one ends in 2016.

“The [BPO] industry continues to be strong and vibrant as we have seen 15% to 18% (compounded annual growth rate in the past 10 years),” IBPAP Chair Dan Reyes remarked in a recent interview . Reyes also emphasized the country s potential growth not only in contact centers but also in gaming, software development, and health information services.

More revenues, more jobs

As BPO services in the Philippines continue to power up the country s economy, more jobs are being created to sustain its exponential growth. In the remaining half of 2015, outsourcing companies in the country are expected to hire 150,000 professionals. By 2016, however, the total number of outsourced jobs in the country may reach up to 1.3 million.

This upsurge in hiring is boosted mainly by the healthcare segment, as the Philippine BPO sector capitalizes on the pressing need of overseas companies for quality health care support services. The healthcare outsourcing industry contributed $3 billion in revenues last year with its 87,000 employees.

Many companies are also beefing up their employment process by opening internships and revamping their training programs.

Main contributor to Philippine economy

BPO services in the Philippines are considered the biggest contributors to the country s growing economy. According to the latest data compiled by CNN Money, the Philippines is the fourth fastest-growing economy in the world this year with its 6.7% growth in gross domestic product. It trails behind China (6.8%), Qatar (7.1%), and India (7.5), and stays ahead of Bangladesh (6.3%), Vietnam (6.0%), and Indonesia (5.2%).

Open Access BPO conducted Plant It Forward, a two-part tree-planting initiative, held in Laguna and Davao in May and June 2025.

Volunteers from both activities planted 300 Philippine indigenous trees, which were selected to help maintain the biodiversity in the area.

โ€œThis program is more than just planting trees; itโ€™s about cultivating a culture of social responsibility within our organization and demonstrating our commitment to the communities where we operate,โ€ said Joy Sebastian, Global VP at Open Access BPO.

This is only the start. Open Access BPO vows to continue investing in such environmental projects, affirming its core value of creating positive impact.

Weโ€™ve made yet another bold move.

Just last month, TDCX Group launched Chemin to help the worldโ€™s most ambitious companies realize their AI goals โ€” faster, safer, and smarter.

To accelerate our ambition, the Group has acquired SUPA, a cutting-edge data annotation platform known for its agile, gig-powered model and elite talent network.

SUPA will now be part of Chemin, as we make moves to deepen our ability to support everything from training foundational models to safeguarding mission-critical AI systems.

โ€œThe future of customer experience is AI-powered, and AI itself runs on increasingly complex, curated data. SUPA brings us the right capabilities and talent frameworks to fuel that future. By embedding SUPA into Chemin, weโ€™re doubling down on our ability to support enterprise and frontier AI labs with world-class data operations,โ€ says Laurent Junique, CEO and Founder, TDCX Group.

As the demand for precision, scalability, and human-in-the-loop intelligence grows, we look forward to delivering the kind of nuanced data interpretation and domain expertise todayโ€™s frontier AI requires.
