SDP Market Size: Infonetics Research vs. Analysys Mason

     

"Infonetics Research’s forecast for the worldwide service delivery platform (SDP) services and software market has been increased slightly, with the market expected to hit $4.7 billion in 2014" in a new research, by Shira Levine, Infonetics Research’s directing analyst for next gen OSS and policy that says:

"Traditionally, the service delivery platform is seen as a tool to deliver services to the end user, but I see a growing interest in the concept of the two-sided business model, in which operators generate additional revenue from developers by providing access to network capabilities and subscriber information. This trend is driving investment in solutions that not only allow operators to expose assets like call control, location, and messaging to third-party developers to create a more dynamic content ecosystem, but also allow them to bill for that exposure”

The report finds that "Oracle is the #1 vendor for worldwide SDP software revenue, and Ericsson is the #1 vendor for SDP services revenue"

Peter Mottishaw, Principal Analyst at Analysys Mason, sees larger numbers. In a new report he concludes that "The global service delivery platform market generated $3.4B in revenue in 2009 and is forecast to generate $6.8B in 2014, growing at a CAGR of 14.8%"
