The Telecom Expense Management Market size is estimated at USD 4.33 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 8.43 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 14.26% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

Telecom Expense Management has become an essential practice for enterprises operating across any business domain/industry, irrespective of their size. The increased requirement for efficient telecom expense management practices is one of the transforming trends in the market, coupled with the expansion that has been observed in the business telecom infrastructures in the past few years.

  • The increasing demand for mobile applications, the growing adoption of portable equipment in multiple enterprises, and the technological advancements in telecom expense management solutions are driving the growth of the telecom expense management market. Furthermore, increased adoption of mobile devices, visibility into expense management, and the growing popularity of cloud-based services are also aiding market growth.
  • The ongoing trend of integrating individual mobile devices, such as smartphones, laptops, and tablets, under mobility policies such as the choose-your-own-device (CYD), and bring-your-own-devices for one, has been transforming the market over the past few years. Also, the augmented integration of mobile devices in the inner telecom networks has highlighted the requirement for a holistic system for managing and monitoring costs and using telecom resources.
  • Further, due to the growing startup culture across developed and developing economies, the increasing number of small and medium-sized enterprises has led companies willing to adopt the BYOD culture to eliminate or restrict the initial infrastructure expenses, which may limit their early growth. Such trends are expected to create several opportunities for telecom expense management solutions.
  • The ease of adoption of cloud-based technologies has boosted the adoption of video conferencing among businesses, driving the adoption of cloud services for various business needs. These are overwhelming the current networks and increasing the requirement for advanced network solutions, proliferating enterprises to invest in telecom expense management solutions. 
  • Thus, globally, telecom operators align themselves in the cloud value chain by managing cloud connectivity and leveraging network assets to enhance and optimize cloud-based solutions and services. Moreover, the growing need for easily maintained network systems that can enable effective communications across multiple end-user industries, including healthcare, retail, and manufacturing, is evident. For instance, the advent of cost-effective cloud-based solutions has seen increased adoption by healthcare providers, which are often categorized as having minimum IT budgets.
  • With the outbreak of COVID-19, the telecom industry witnessed a significant increase in demand for internet services due to a major chunk of the population staying at home due to remote working conditions. The increase in people working from home led to an increase in demand for downloading, online video viewing, and communication through video conferencing, all of which are leading to increased network traffic and data usage.

BFSI Segment is Expected to Gain Significant Traction

  • There has been a growing competition among the service providers to improve telecom expense management services available for the BFSI sector, thereby helping them to gain a competitive edge over other end-users.

For instance, Cass Information Systems Inc. is helping finance, banking, and insurance enterprises to fully manage their telecoms, including mobility services and BYOD management.
  • In addition, the growing mobile and online banking users are boosting the demand for telecom expense management in the Banking Sector. For instance, according to data from a report of Bank of America published in August 2022, Customers of Bank of America are increasingly using the company's highly regarded digital tools to manage their accounts. In July 2022, customers used the business's digital platforms nearly 1 billion times. The company has a record 55 million verified digital customers, which has increased by 5% from last year's numbers.
  • Banking clients get the ability to track their telecom costs for individual branches and can also benchmark them against one another. Meanwhile, the insurance clients appreciate the solution's ability to track the total costs assigned to remote employees for clear visibility into remote costs.
  • Also, the increasing demand for better mobile applications for banking services and the increased penetration of IoT devices coupled with a shift towards 5G networks, efforts made towards making improved APIs for seamless user experience, and the growing need of telecom operators to monetize their advanced services are also some of the major factors that are anticipated to drive the market growth.
  • Moreover, the growing adoption of advanced technologies, along with the increasing applications of mobile internet in day-to-day operations, has fueled the cutting-edge competition among various technological advancements across BFSI in the booming era of LTE and IoT, which may further propel the demand in the market.

  • Moreover, several governments in Latin America are considering 5G technology as a significant factor in their digital transformation.
