Brazil, The New Global Power in IT
  Market Data
  * Brazil´s IT-BPO export market turned over US$ 2.2 billion in 2008 - including IT-BPO services, captive centers and software.
Revenue comes mainly from IT services, and most (73%) is related to development, which is a higher proportion than in other countries. According to the IDC, the biggest growth is in the integration and consulting areas, as in the rest of the world, but development will continue to dominate for a long time. In the BPO segment demand is concentrated in call centers, which account for 40% of business activity. These usually involve multinational company branches working for the head offices ("captive centers"). Operations focusing on the market outside Brazil are mainly help-desks, and B2C call centers
  * Brazil has the 8th largest domestic IT-BPO market in the word
In 2008 the sector turned over US$ 59.1 billion, including exports and IT-BPO areas that are part of the structure of Brazilian companies in every economic sector. If the communications sector is included, which forms the ICT complex, turnover exceeded US$ 139.1 billion.
  * The 10th largest economy in the world, Brazil enjoys political stability and social progress
Recent economic growth confirms this positive outlook. From 2002 to 2008, real GDP in US dollars doubled, going from US$ 724 billion to US$ 1.5 trillion, with constant growth from 2004 onwards. Brazil is today the tenth-largest economy in the world, ahead of Russia and India, and the largest in Latin America. The country was classified by the United Nations
Development Program (UNDP) as having a high Human Development Index (HDI), ahead of the other BRIC countries (Russia, India and China).
