The cloud‑based contact‑centre market was valued at US$8.74 billion in 2025 and was forecast to reach US$55.89 billion by 2033 (CAGR 26.1%). The automation‑testing market was estimated at US$33.50 billion in 2025, with a projected size of US$125.56 billion by 2033 (CAGR 17.6%). Drivers cited included cloud adoption, remote‑work trends, software complexity, and agile/DevOps practices.

Later in July, the same firm released a second forecast covering cognitive‑assessment and contract‑research‑organization (CRO) services. The cognitive‑assessment market was valued at US$6.87 billion in 2024, expected to grow to US$35.30 billion by 2032 (CAGR 22.7%). The CRO market was projected at US$61.70 billion in 2024, rising to US$133.22 billion by 2032 (CAGR 10.1%). Both sets of forecasts underline strong, multi‑year growth expectations across diverse technology‑enabled services.
