Market Overview
The Rich Communication Services Market was valued at USD 4.50 billion in 2019 and is expected to reach USD 34.60 billion by 2025, at a CAGR of 40.51% over the forecast period 2020 - 2025. Text messaging is still the most direct and widely used form of communication. As a result, two-way automated enterprise-to-person text messaging, known as A2P mobile messaging, has become essential for businesses.
- GSMA, an association that represents the interests of nearly 800 mobile operators worldwide, is backing a universal RCS profile to provide RCS messaging right across the Android ecosystem and include Apple iPhone apps to receive and send RCS messages.
- In early 2017, nearly 49 operators launched RCS across their network. Despite Google’s purchasing of Jibe to streamline the service, interoperability remains to pose challenges. AT&T in the United States, for instance, implemented an older standard that does not work with T-Mobile or Verizon’s version.
- RCS presents a platform to participate in testing an upcoming technology and to be able to make RCS as the default messaging experience worldwide. Companies deploying RCS will have the opportunity to deliver a consistent GSMA Universal Profile and to actively benefit from industry players partnering for the cutting edge of mobile communications.
Scope of the Report

Key Market Trends
VoLTE to Witness the Highest Growth Rate Over the Forecast Period
- The biggest factors driving the growth of VoLTE services will be from operators reducing costs and increasing capacity of operators by moving voice calls from 3G and 4G networks to the 5G VoLTE network.
- With 5G wireless communication on its way, the use of smartphones would increase multifold, increasing the demand for the latest models to raise the bar continuously, facilitating the growth for rich communication services.
- Organizations are heavily investing in the mitigation of interoperability issues that network operators face. For instance, in 2016, TIM and Vodafone PLC rolled out tests to ensure open, interoperable standards to maximize the ease of use and offer the best services in the market.

- The strong financial position of North America has enabled organizations to invest in advanced solutions and technologies. The United States is leading the charge with the rollout of the first 5G commercial networks. In 2018, trials took place in every major market worldwide with Verizon's plans to launch a 5G handset in early 2019.
