Market Definition

A2P (Application-to-Person) messaging refers to the process where an application sends messages to a user, typically through SMS (Short Message Service) but also via other messaging channels, including Over-the-Top (OTT) messaging platforms such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or Facebook Messenger. This type of messaging is used primarily by businesses and organizations to communicate directly with customers for a variety of purposes, such as sending alerts, reminders, promotional content, authentication codes, and transaction confirmations. OTT messaging platforms offer a rich, cost-effective alternative to traditional SMS, allowing for the inclusion of multimedia content, interactive elements, and encryption for privacy.
