Global Instant Messaging Software Industry Outlook


Product Definition:


Instant messaging software is a type of communication software that allows two or more people to communicate in real time via text messages. Instant messaging software is often used for business purposes, but can also be used for personal communication. The importance of instant messaging software lies in its ability to allow people to communicate quickly and easily.


PC:


PC is a client/server based architecture that facilitates the sharing of information and files between computers over a network. The PC industry has witnessed significant growth in recent years owing to the advent of broadband, which has led to an increase in demand for instant messaging (IM) software. IM allows users to communicate through text, images, and video over a computer network. It also enables them to exchange messages with their contacts as if they were using MSN or AIM messenger services on their PCs.


Mobile:


Mobile is the electronic device used for communication by the users through text messages and voice calls. The mobile devices can be connected to computers or each other through wireless technologies using various applications. Mobile phones are more popular in developed countries such as U.S., UK, Germany, etc., whereas developing countries such as India and China are expected to have a high growth rate in near future due to increasing adoption of mobile phone usage among individuals.


Application Insights:


The other application segment includes online gaming, financial services and retail. The use of instant messaging software in the financial services industry has witnessed a tremendous rise over the past few years. This is due to various benefits provided by these applications, such as communication and collaboration tools for BFSI businesses to enhance their operations. Furthermore, banks are also using these applications to communicate with their customers through text messages or push notifications about transaction alerts on mobile phones.


The personal application segment dominated the global instant messaging software market in 2017 owing to increasing usage of this tool for communication among individuals globally. The ability of these applications in enabling individuals to connect with friends & family across different platforms enables them access from anywhere at any time regarding important updates from friends & family or organizations they subscribe to via Interest Lists or Instant Messaging (IM). These factors have contributed towards its dominance over other segments during recent years.


Regional Analysis:


North America dominated the global IM software market in 2016. The growth of instant messaging in this region can be attributed to the presence of key players such as Cisco Systems, Inc.; Microsoft Corporation; and Google, Inc. Furthermore, high usage rates for Instant Messaging Software (IMS) are also driving regional growth. According to a study by comScore Networks Inc., North America accounted for more than 45% of all internet users in 2016 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of XX% from 2017 to 2021.


Asia Pacific is expected witness significant growth during the forecast period owing to increasing smartphone penetration rates coupled with rising social media usage among individuals as well as enterprises in this region.


The Asia Pacific instant messaging software market was valued at USD X billion in 2017.


Growth Factors:


  • Increasing demand for instant messaging software from small and medium businesses (SMBs) due to the advantages of cost savings, improved communication, and enhanced collaboration.
  • The growing trend of Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) in enterprises, which is increasing the demand for instant messaging software as it allows employees to use their personal devices for work purposes.
  • Rapid proliferation of smartphones and tablets that are equipped with advanced features such as cameras, microphones, and location-tracking capabilities, which are fuelling the growth of instant messaging software market.
