Este estudio también refleja que el acceso remoto es una práctica todavía poco extendida en las Pymes españolas. Sin embargo, dado el beneficio empresarial que
puede reportar a las Pymes con trabajadores desplazados, que representan el 23% del
total, se trata de un mercado con un enorme potencial, con múltiples oportunidades y

remote workers

This might be a possibility to refer to the workers you're describing.

Please see first ref (also referred to as "virtual staff"

Remote workers: How do you serve them?
A big challenge for IT organizations is to manage the hordes of telecommuters, road warriors and small office/home office workers trying to hook on to the enterprise. Many IT groups develop and manage these "unique" working environments on shoestring budgets without access to specialized training.

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thanks, Nikki. In the context it is obvious that they are not laid off or taking on work that is not their habitual line of work. However, as I cannot be sure that they are teleworkers (they could be sales staff, for example, or at least include them), I think this one is sufficiently vague to cover anybody who does not actually work in the office the whole time."

Work at home - Succeed at home

Home based jobs have become more common than ever, thanks to the unprecedented connectivity offered by the Internet and affordable home computers. Companies can offer home employment to workers anywhere in the world.

Yet, why would anyone want to leave their office job for at home work? A large part of the attraction of work at home jobs is the independence and flexibility they offer compared with traditional employment. There are a number of financial and practical reasons to pursue work from home employment as well. Working in a home office can eliminate the cost of commuting and maintaining a business wardrobe.

relocation of production

I think it means that production is shifted/relocated abroad, where labour costs are lower.

Therefore, you could translate it as follows: "However, thanks to the potential benefits deriving from the relocation of production (abroad/ to other countries),..."

dislocated/off-site workers

(though it sounds like a bone) may solve the problem. The phrase generally refers to those who have lost their jobs or been laid off, but your context would seem to suggest else. Check it out, anyway. :)
