A Look into Mobile VoIP Industry……Deep Analysis…..
The global mobile VoIP
market is expected to reach USD 145.76 billion by 2024, according
to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The transition to packet-switched
networks from circuit switch networks is propelling the growth of mobile VoIP
market.
In order to ensure business continuity amidst
the COVID-19 crisis, business organizations, especially in highly affected
countries are allowing their employees to work from home. The increase in
people working from home has led to a surge in demand for online video viewing,
downloading, and communication through video conferencing, all of which are
leading to increased network traffic and data usage. COVID-19 shall accelerate
the demand for agile and flexible work styles and further push the adoption of
communication services that tend to improve work-life balance. On the flip
side, telecom regulators worldwide have postponed their plans of 5G spectrum
auction amidst the global pandemic. This is expected to have an impact on the
commercialization of commercial 5G standalone deployments and revenue generated
through 5G services. The ongoing pandemic has forced telecom operators
worldwide to test their network resiliency and revisit their planned
investments, especially in 5G technology. The report will account for Covid19
as a key market contributor.
The deployment of 4G/LTE is one of the
key drivers boosting the industry growth. The increase in the capability of
wireless bandwidth services and growing investment by telecom operators in the
deployment of a high-speed network is expected to enhance the usage of these
services over the forecast period. Moreover, mobile VoIP service eliminates the
need for voice plans, text add-ons and achieves flexibility in making
unlimited, inexpensive or free calls.
The competition in the mobile VoIP
market is intense as several new service providers are focusing on increasing
their market presence by offering low-cost services enabling the use of internet-based
communication. Mobile VoIP is highly dependent on the reliable high-speed
network. However, limited network speed results in interrupted and disruptive
communication, which is expected to challenge the industry growth over the
forecast period.
