Research and Markets: Worldwide Service Delivery Platforms Market Forecast to Grow from USD3.4 Billion in 2009 to USD6.8 B

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/87373e/service_delivery_p) has announced the addition of the "Service Delivery Platforms: Worldwide Forecast 20102014" report to their offering.

The global service delivery platform (SDP) market is forecast to grow from USD3.4 billion in 2009 to USD6.8 billion in 2014, at a CAGR of 14.8%. Spending on SDPs will recover as the global economy improves in 2010 and 2011.

In mature markets, the main driver for SDP spending is the need to enable new revenue streams from new services, enhancements of existing services and new business models. These factors also apply in emerging markets, but the underlying growth in subscriber numbers is the fundamental driver of growth in these regions. In both cases, prepaid services are a major factor in SDP spending. Real-time charging directly supports prepaid services, and telecoms application servers (TAS) are used to enhance them.

TAS investment will be driven by prepaid enhancement and session control, next-generation intelligent networks (NGIN), service brokers, new enterprise and consumer services, and service exposure.

Mobile content management and delivery will be the fastest-growing area, thanks to the rapid growth in mobile data services and the increasing penetration of smartphones. Carrier application stores will also continue to be an investment area.

Mobile device management investment will be driven by growth in subscriber numbers, and the need to control customer care costs and improve the customer experience.

Real-time charging investment will grow rapidly, driven by growth in subscriber numbers, new requirements for mobile data services and the replacement of legacy IN platforms.

This report is a companion to the previously published Service delivery platform market share report 2009, which detailed the current business conditions and market shares, offerings and strategies of the major software providers.
