North America Accounts for the Largest Share

  • North America is expected to dominate the CPaaS market due to the recent increase in mobility and the massive growth in the penetration of smart mobile devices. Moreover, with the rising demand for user-friendly and cost-effective browser-based communication solutions, prominent market players are planning to launch integrated and unified CPaaS solutions in the region, which is expected to augment the market's expansion.
  • Additionally, the region's CPaaS market is anticipated to benefit from the growing deployment of IoT in the telecom industry. American telecom providers are utilizing the ability of IoT-based technologies to expedite processes and boost effectiveness. The United States produced 51.55 million exabytes of internet traffic per month in 2020. It is projected that this number will rise to 98.64 million exabytes per month in 2023, according to projections from Telecom Advisory Services.
  • Additionally, due to a high investment rate for 5G deployment, the United States is one of the top investors and innovators in the 5G market. The telecom industry in the nation drives a significant portion of the world's 5G technology consumption. The US also controls most of the regional 5G market in terms of investment, adoption, and applications. Moreover, to develop their 5G network infrastructure in the United States, telecom providers, including Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile, have signed billion-dollar contracts with network equipment manufacturers like Samsung, Ericsson, Nokia, Huawei, and ZTE.
