About Brazil’s contact center industry
Brazil’s strong domestic market has produced more in-house contact center agent positions that anywhere else in Latin America. Brazil is joining the global expansion of the contact centre industry with the number of contact center agents located in Brazil expected to rise significantly over the next couple of years.
