MarketsandMarkets forecasts the telecom cloud billing market size to grow from USD 2.49 Billion in 2016 to USD 8.22 Billion by 2021, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 27.0% from 2016 to 2021. Lower operational & administration costs, advancement & increase in adoption of cloud-based technologies, increasing mobile penetration and high subscriber growth, need for real-time billing, and increased demand for bundled services are some of the driving forces in the market.
The scope of this report covers the telecom cloud billing market by billing, application, cloud platform, deployment, services, end user, rate of charging mode, and region. Convergent billing is expected to hold the largest market share because telecom operators are looking at providing combined offerings for their services. Telecom operators offer different services such as voice, data, IPTV, VOIP, prepaid, and post-paid services with different payment models. The customers select one of above services from the operator. All of these offerings need to be served on a single system that can accommodate any line of business, any subscriber type, and any payment model.
Among applications, the customer management segment is expected to grow at the highest rate in the telecom cloud billing market during the forecast period. Customer management is the backbone of any business process. It encompasses many functionalities such as customer-interface management, order management, product catalogue, customer service offering, subscriber self-care management, sales & marketing, rate plans and rating, discounting, invoicing, problem handling, auditing and security. Customer management enables Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) to deliver a consistent user experience across the overall business system and to manage all aspects of their relationship with customers.
Among cloud platform, the Software as a Service (SaaS) platform is expected to dominate the telecom cloud billing market and hold the largest market share. SaaS model allows CSPs to quickly support new services for their customers and also enables converging of multiple billing systems like prepaid and postpaid onto a single platform. It brings new services to market more economically without installing the entire infrastructure and to support it. One of the major benefits of adopting cloud-based SaaS operations is reduce initial capital costs.
Among the end users, individual customers segment is expected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period. In the telecom industry,
Asia-Pacific (APAC) is expected to grow at the highest growth rate in the telecom cloud billing market during the forecast period. The enormous population in the region has led to an extensive pool of subscriber base for telecom companies. There are several factors driving the impressive growth in APAC such as rapid economic development, globalization and foreign direct investment, increasing penetration of smartphones, and rapid internet adoption in individuals customers.
However, telecom regulations and use of legacy systems would be the restraining factors for growth of the telecom cloud billing market.
The major vendors in the telecom cloud billing market include Amdocs (U.S.), Oracle Corporation (U.S.), CGI Group, Inc. (Canada), Ericsson (Sweden), Netcracker Technology (U.K.), Cerillion (U.K), AsiaInfo (China), Computer Science Corporation (U.S.), Redknee Solutions, Inc. (U.S.), Huawei Technologies (China), and Tech Mahindra (India). These players adopted various strategies such as new product launches, partnerships, agreements, collaborations, mergers & acquisitions, and business expansions to cater to the needs of their customers. The report also includes key innovators in the market, such as Zuora (U.S.), Mind CTI (Israel), Inc. and jBilling (Canada).
