Global Service Delivery Platform Market to Grow 14.8% Annually from 2009 to 2014, Says Analysys Mason

Posted August 26, 2010

LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- The global service delivery platform market generated USD3.4 billion (EUR2.7 billion) in revenue in 2009 and is forecast to generate USD6.8 billion (EUR5.4 billion) in 2014, growing at a CAGR of 14.8%, according to the latest report from global telecoms, media and IT adviser Analysys Mason, entitled Service delivery platforms: worldwide forecast 2010–2014.

“Spending on service delivery platforms (SDP) has held up reasonably well in 2009, and growth will accelerate as the worldwide economy improves in 2010 and 2011,” explains Peter Mottishaw, Principal Analyst at Analysys Mason and author of the report.

“In mature markets, the main driver for SDP spending is the need to enable new revenue streams from new services, and to support enhancements of existing services and new business models. These drivers also apply in emerging markets, but the high underlying growth in subscriber numbers is the more important driver for the increase in SDP spending. In both cases, prepaid services are a major factor in SDP spending.”

Mottishaw, who also heads the Service Delivery Platform Strategies research programme at Analysys Mason, says the replacement of legacy IN platforms will continue to be a factor in driving spending in the real-time charging and telecoms application server sub-segments.

Mobile content management and delivery will be the fastestgrowing sub-segment. Spending will grow at a 17.9% CAGR, from USD0.5 billion (EUR0.4 billion) in 2009 to USD1.1 billion (EUR0.9 billion) in 2014. This is driven by the rapid growth in mobile data services and the increasing penetration of smartphones.

Telecoms application servers are currently the largest sub-segment. Spending in this market will grow at an 11.2% CAGR, from USD1.5 billion (EUR1.2 billion) in 2009 to USD2.5 billion (EUR2.0 billion) in 2014. Investment will be driven by prepaid enhancement and session control, nextgeneration intelligent networks (NGINs), service brokers, new enterprise and consumer services and third-party service exposure.

Real-time charging will become the largest sub-segment by 2014, growing at a 17.3% CAGR from USD1.2 billion (EUR0.9 billion) in 2009 to USD2.6 billion (EUR2.1 billion) in 2014. Growth in subscriber numbers, new requirements for mobile data services and the replacement of legacy IN platforms will drive growth.
