A new research by Shira Levine, Infonetics Research’s directing analyst for next gen OSS and policy, finds that "The global service delivery platform (SDP) software and services market grew 16% between 2010 and 2011, to $3.2 billion .. Infonetics forecasts the SDP software and services market to hit $5.8 billion by 2016".
Previously Infonetics forecasted $5.2B for 2015 (here). Analysys Mason's most recent forecast is $6.3B for 2015 (here).
The SDP market is experiencing double-digit percent annual growth in large part due to operator interest in:
"Ongoing capital constraints are driving operators’ interest in service delivery platform solutions that go beyond the traditional software licensing model .. We’re seeing growing demand for alternatives such as cloud-based delivery, turnkey application storefronts for consumer and enterprise customers, and revenue-sharing models, and we expect that trend to continue as operators look to create a more predictable cost structure around their SDP deployments"
More highlights:
The SDP market is experiencing double-digit percent annual growth in large part due to operator interest in:
- Developing app stores – not just for consumers but increasingly for enterprises, such as those in the M2M, healthcare, retail, manufacturing, education, and transportation verticals
- Offering customized mobile advertising
- Managing exploding levels of content downloads by mobile broadband subscribers
- Developing API exposure strategies that enable them to create a richer ecosystem of content partners
