Feb 25 (Reuters) - French outsourcing and call centre group Teleperformance said on Thursday it expected the global shift towards digitalisation to outlast the COVID-19-driven lockdowns.

Deputy Chief Executive Olivier Rigaudy told reporters the company saw a lasting trend to more digital work, with no disruptions expected from the easing of lockdowns, which should boost its business also in longer term.

"We are taking more and more market share," Rigaudy said, adding Teleperformance had been early to get involved in the digital world.

Teleperformance, which employs more than 380,000 around the world, counts global giants such as Google, Facebook and Netflix among its customers. Analysts have tipped the company as a potential winner of the post COVID-19 world, driven by the digitalisation trends.

Just like its clients, Teleperformance had to move much of its workforce to work from home over the past year and now says more than 250,000 of its employees continue to work remotely.

The company's market value increased by a fourth in 2020 despite an initial pandemic slump in March, as it quickly bounced back and demonstrated strong sales recovery throughout the second half of the year.

Teleperformance said it expected to report like-for-like revenue growth of at least 9% this year, along with an operating profit (EBITA) margin of more than 14% excluding one-off items.

For 2020, it reported 11.6% like-for-like revenue growth to 5.7 billion euros ($6.96 billion), just above analysts' estimate in a Refinitiv poll. EBITA margin came in at 12.8%, compared with the company's own forecast of at least 12.5%.

The group also confirmed its 2022 financial targets of a 7 billion euro revenue on annual like-for-like growth of at least 6%, and an EBITA margin of around 14.5%. ($1 = 0.8185 euros) (Reporting by Milla Nissi in Gdansk Additional reporting by Kate Entringer Editing by Tomasz Janowski)
