Executive Summary NDED-76 7
Executive Summary In 2013, the Latin American contact center systems market witnessed a 1.9% increase in revenue. This slow increase was the result of the retraction shown by important companies in the market. In 2014, a 7.8% revenue growth is expected. Applications such as IVR and contact center analytics witnessed a significant revenue increase in 2013 when compared to 2012 (28.0% and 61.0%, respectively). This growth is expected to continue at a lower pace over the next couple of years. The Latin American market remains highly concentrated (the top 5 participants represented 66.2% of the total market in 2013), demonstrating minimal change in terms of market share. When compared to 2012, companies have maintained their industry vertical portfolio. Verticals such as telecommunications, healthcare, utilities and energy, retail and consumer goods, and insurance witnessed an increase in revenue. On the other hand, a reduction in outsourcing and banking was perceived during the same period. Large contact centers will continue to demand the highest number of on-premise solutions. Vendors are developing solutions for small- and medium-size companies, however this demand will increasingly move to the cloud. Avaya Inc (Avaya) continued to hold the highest market share in ICR and IVR applications in 2013. Altitude Software will also maintain its position with the highest outbound revenue market share. Verint Systems Inc (Verint) and NICE are the top 2 companies in terms of revenue market share for quality monitoring, workforce management, and analytics applications, with this trend not having changed since 2012.
