Market Overview

The rich communication service market is expected to register a CAGR of 40.51% during the forecast period, 2019-2024. 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.

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.

North America to Hold the Largest Market Share

  • In North America, RCS is gaining traction as the default messaging client, coupled with VoLTE to share the IMS stack that enhances the efficiency of the devices, network, and simplifies the deployment of RCS services.
  • VoLTE calls in this region make up 80% of all voice calls on the T-Mobile US network. The smartphone market in the United States stood at 1444 million units in 2017, according to the Consumer Technology Association.
  • 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. 
  • In 2018, at Mobile World Congress Americas, Redbox leveraged RCS at Google’s Innovation City Booth. This is indicative of business adopting RCS as a way ahead for personalized marketing.
