As small businesses prepare for tomorrow’s customer service expectations, the UK contact centre market is on an exciting trajectory of growth and innovation. Industry analysts forecast the Contact Centre-as-a-Service (CCaaS) segment alone will surge from USD 314 million in 2024 to USD 898 million by 2030, reflecting a strong CAGR of 19.8%.

Our 24/7 call centre services ensure your business is always ready to connect, day or night.

Market Size in Context
Market figures vary depending on how analysts define the industry — whether you measure just domestic call centres, the outsourced BPO segment, or the entire customer experience ecosystem.
- The domestic UK call centre industry is valued at around £3.2 billion (2024) — a narrow measure that looks at UK-based establishments only.
- The outsourced contact centre and BPO segment is larger, worth £4.23 billion in 2024 and forecast to grow to £5.81 billion by 2030 as more organisations shift to managed services.
- A broader definition — including in-house, outsourced, CCaaS platforms, and BPO functions — projects the UK market to grow from £14.56 billion in 2022 to £27.52 billion by 2031.
No matter which lens you use, the message is the same: the market is growing fast, moving away from pure cost arbitrage and towards strategic, technology-driven partnerships. That’s the space Norango was built to serve.
Why This Matters for UK Businesses
Our study shows three powerful forces reshaping the sector:
- Technology that empowers, not replaces → AI is supporting human agents with real-time assistance and predictive insights, improving speed without losing empathy.
- Hybrid and remote work → Over half of UK contact centre staff now work remotely, creating new models of efficiency and workforce satisfaction.
- ESG and sustainability → Clients now look for cultural fit, carbon reduction, and ethical AI as part of their buying decision.
At Norango, we’ve already embedded all three — with voice AI agents, flexible hybrid teams, and a commitment to ethical, sustainable operations.
Norango’s Edge
While big players are consolidating to chase scale, Norango has stayed agile. Our hybrid model means:
- AI handles routine calls instantly.
- UK-based live agents step in for empathy and nuance.
- Performance-based outcomes replace outdated “per-minute” charging.
This isn’t theory — it’s how we already deliver measurable results for clients in finance, healthcare, retail, insurance, and the public sector.
The Road Ahead
The UK contact centre market could be worth nearly £28 billion by 2031, and success won’t belong to the cheapest provider — it will belong to those who can integrate AI + human intelligence, prove ESG leadership, and deliver strategic value.
That’s why businesses are turning to Norango. We’re not just another outsourced provider — we’re a partner for the future of customer engagement.
