“Cloud Communications market has grown by 2.3m users in the last six months” – Cavell Group
September 8, 2022 - Cavell’s latest Cloud Communications reports have been released which cover how markets in Western Europe and in the US have evolved over the last six months with a forecast looking out to how the markets will develop out until the end of 2026. With market data from over 800 service providers in these regions building up our market statistics, the latest reports give service providers, vendors, and channel organisation a deep insight into how each market is growing and evolving.
GROWTH HAS BEEN HELD BACK IN MANY MARKETS Coming out of the pandemic, the 2022 was forecast to be a growth year in many markets and although user adds have been significant, the impact of the war in Ukraine and inflationary pressures have lower business confidence and ongoing supply chain issues have meant that the market has not grown as quickly as forecast previously. The fundamentals of the market still remain with businesses across the globe moving their communications to the cloud at an unprecedented rate. With vast differences between each geography, the country reports deliver granular detail on how cloud communications is being adopted, the drivers for growth and the providers executing successfully in the market. Penetration rates are on average 37% in the markets covered with some countries like Germany and France still very much behind other markets and others like the USA, UK and Netherlands ahead in terms of cloud communications penetration. “Cloud Communications solutions are being adopted across all markets but the opportunities in some markets are shrinking as penetration rates reach significant levels. The impact of the pandemic still is driving the market forward, but macro headwinds still remain. There is still huge growth forecast in the market with over 50m users migrating from legacy PBX solutions to cloud communications solutions by the end 2026.” - Dominic Black - Director of Research Services, Cavell Group.
WHAT IS IN THE REPORTS?
