E-Commerce Market OverviewTCI TianjinCurrent Situation AnalysisRecommendationsCHINA IS BECOMING A HIGHLY DYNAMIC CC MARKET Chinas call center market took off since 1998 with an annual growth rate over 100%Non-paging market size reached 54,000 seats in 2000 However past growth was largely driven by demands from administrative driven sectorOver 60%of the new CC demand comes from four pillar industries:Banking,Post Services,Fixed-line Telecom,and InsuranceDistinctive purchasing behavior identified for these purchases Future growth will be propelled by service oriented and outsourcing segmentsService oriented segment expected to be 50%of total CC marketOutsourcing market will grow at least 50%a year for the next few years-However large variance exists for outsourcing segment growth Overall,China CC market is expected to reach over 130,000 seats in 2004 and 340,000 seats in 2010CC OURSOURCERS ARE EMERGING BUT STILL EXPLORING(I)Currently,CC outsourcing business is brand new in China No more than 30 companies providing merely about 3,200 seats in serviceOver 70-80%supply concentrated in 4 major cities Future outsourcing development is highly dependent on current players performance and strategiesPotential customers concerned about quality,confidentiality,information processing ability,HR,and priceGrowth will fluctuate widely according to the industrys ability to satisfy customer concerns and requirements now In short term,competition will be minimum due to highly differentiated positions and large number of unexploited potential outsourcing customers In medium term,paging companies can be powerful and desperate competitors in the low-end outsourcing marketThat might distort the industry profitability and trigger vicious competitionHowever high-end outsourcing market might be intact Currently,only low-price/standard service vendors are profitableUtilization,and therefore,long-term customers,is the key for profitabilityHowever,high-priced outsourcing solutions not widely accepted by the marketBut in the long-run,we believe high-end services will be valued by customersWe are encouraged by recent positive news on clients long-term commitments to high-end outsourcersWith Chinas pending WTO Entry and continued economic growth,we believe its the direction High-end outsourcers can win the game by aggressively establishing long-term client base,and targeting various outsourcing opportunities along the value chainFive successful strategies identified for new customer developmentTelemarketing and value-added information service most likely to be outsourcedCC OURSOURCERS ARE EMERGING BUT STILL EXPLORING(II)TCI SHOULD PARTNER WITH RIGHT LOCAL CC OUTSOURCERS A partnering strategy is essential for TCI to capture the great opportunities in ChinaTCI lacks a bunch of local capabilities,while time is contingent TCI should target both money making,and money losing tech advanced outsourcers during negotiation process,based on two plausible partnership strategiesMoney making ones:share profits and leverage local strengthMoney losing ones:control and negotiate for a bargain dealConsidering the limited number of candidates in China and TCIs tight schedule,a broader search can strengthen TCIs negotiation positionFive promising outsourcers identified during the interview processMoney making ones:China Motion,800
