Callcenter industry analysis

Im Zeitraum 2019 bis 2024 war ein geringfügiger Anstieg des Branchenumsatzes um durchschnittlich 1,2 % pro Jahr zu verzeichnen. Der umsatzstärkste Bereich der Branche ist die Kundenbetreuung, wobei Unternehmen wie Mobilfunkanbieter und Banken sowie das Gesundheitswesen in den letzten Jahren leichte Umsatzrückgänge verbuchten. Bemerkenswert war die Entwicklung im Jahr 2020, da trotz der gravierenden negativen Auswirkungen der Coronavirus-Pandemie auf die Gesamtwirtschaft der Bedarf an Kundenbetreuung, -befragung und -akquise nur geringfügig zurückging. Die intensive Kommunikation mit den Endkunden war aufgrund der hohen wirtschaftlichen Unsicherheit in vielen Fällen weiterhin notwendig. Insbesondere der Gesundheitssektor steigerte seine Nachfrage nach Callcenter-Dienstleistungen. Im laufenden Jahr dürfte sich das Umsatzwachstum aufgrund der positiveren Zukunftserwartungen der Verbraucher wieder verbessern, sodass der Branchenumsatz 2024 um 2,8 % auf 10,7 Milliarden Euro steigen dürfte.
