Bangladesh is a fast-growing outsourcing destination. It has about 170 million people, a young workforce, the world’s second-largest apparel industry, and a growing IT and software sector. More international businesses now use Bangladesh for hiring, technology, customer support and manufacturing. This guide covers each main outsourcing industry in the country and the established providers in each.

Why Businesses Outsource to Bangladesh

A young, large workforce. Bangladesh has a very large young population and a rising number of graduates in technology and business. Bengali is the main language, and English is widely used in business and IT.

Cost effectiveness. Costs are low compared with most outsourcing markets, which suits companies building large teams or producing at scale. Exact costs differ by role and industry, so always ask providers for a clear quote.

Time zone. Bangladesh runs on UTC+6, only half an hour ahead of Sri Lanka and India. Its working day is about 2 hours from the UAE and partly overlaps with Europe and Australia.

Dhaka and the industrial belts. Dhaka is the main business and IT hub. Garment and manufacturing sites are spread around Dhaka, Gazipur, Narayanganj and Chattogram.

A growing industry. The sector is younger than India’s or Sri Lanka’s. Buyers should check each provider’s real experience with international clients.
