The pre-budget Economic Survey  2012-13, which was tabled in Parliament today Wednesday Feb 27,2013, said India faces stiff competition from several emerging countries in the BPO sector.
Countries like -

• Malaysia, China and the Philippines in Asia
•  Egypt and Morocco in North Africa
•  Brazil, Mexico, Chile and Columbia in Latin America and 
• Poland and Ireland in Europe

 are emerging as attractive destinations for voice contracts, posing a significant threat to Indian firms.According to Nasscom , in the last 5 years, India has lost about 10 per cent market share to the rest of the world in the world BPO space, most of which is in the voice contract segment

According to  Nasscom, in FY13, IT services would account for USD 50 billion, while Business Process Management (BPM or BPO) and Engineering services would contribute USD 20 billion and USD 10 billion, respectively
