The Global Market for Service Delivery Platform is Projected to Surpass US$9 Billion by 2020
Rising Demand for Innovative Value Added Services
Drives Telecom Operators to Invest in Service Delivery Platforms, According to a
New Report by Global
Industry Analysts, Inc.
GIA launches comprehensive
analysis of industry segments, trends, growth drivers, market share, size and
demand forecasts on the global Service Delivery Platform market. The global market for Service Delivery Platform is
projected to surpass US$9 billion by 2020, driven by the growing focus of telecom service providers to build innovative
value added services that help tap into emerging opportunities in new areas
such as M2M, LTE deployment, and cloud computing.
A Service Delivery
Platform (SDP) refers to a set of hardware and software components, which aid
in creating, delivering and managing services offered over a telecommunications
network. By implementing SDP, telecom operators can rapidly develop and deploy
a variety of converged products, thereby expanding the range of service
offerings. Though SDPs have been available in the market for nearly a decade,
it is only in recent years that the concept has gained popularity in the
telecom industry. With telecom operators facing challenges in the form of
falling average revenue per user (ARPU) and increasing customer churn rate in
both fixed line and mobile networks, operators are focusing on offering a wider
range of premium priced, value added services to customers. In order to improve
returns on investments and gain an edge over rivals in the intensely
competitive telecom sector,
operators are deploying scalable and flexible SDPs, which aid in the creation, delivery
and management of value added services. SDPs also help facilitate reduction in
operational costs and aid in lowering time-to-market of new services.
The market for SDP
software and services for both fixed line and mobile networks continues to grow
at a strong pace driven by the continuous increase in mobile deployments, particularly
in emerging markets. Service providers are also investing in SDP solutions to
tap the emerging opportunities in relatively new areas such as M2M
(machine-to-machine) and cloud computing. With Telecom operators investing huge
financial resources on FTTx, LTE (Long-Term Evolution), and IMS (IP Multimedia
Subsystem) network technologies SDP spending is on the rise. Market growth is
also favored by the availability of advanced SDP products based on SOA (Service
Oriented Architecture) and web services interface, which feature easy
plug-and-play capabilities.
As stated by the new
market research report on Service Delivery Platform, Europe represents the largest market worldwide. The
region is registering strong growth in SDP spending, driven by the growing
demand for machine-to-machine (M2M) services. Also in mature markets, the focus
of SDP spending is more on service layer transformation, as operators make the
shift towards IMS over LTE. Asia-Pacific is poised to record the fastest CAGR
of 11.9% over the analysis period. The vast population in the region offers a large
addressable market for personalized and diversified service offerings. Regional
powerhouses, namely China and India, are expected to raise investments in VoLTE
and IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem).
Major players covered in
