nations, is a factor that limits the
market growth. In some countries, the
regulatory framework restricts con-
nection between public-switched tele-
phone lines with VoIP, which is another
factor limiting the market growth.
A Global Phenomenon
The European and North American
UC markets are expected to grow at
a significant rate thanks to a mature
penetration of broadband communi-
cations infrastructure, according to
Hexa Research. But Asia-Pacific
is likewise expected to grow
considerably during the forecast
period thanks to mobility uptake.
High-speed wireless data net-
works and large population bas-
es in regions including India and
China will all provide favorable
opportunities to market growth
in this region, the firm said.
Grand View said that the UC
market in Asia Pacific region
accounted for more than 25
percent of the overall market
share in 2015. The firm also
expects the region to witness
substantial growth during the
next eight years. Grand View’s
view is that developing econo-
mies such as India and China
from the region are expected to
offer extensive growth avenues,
owing to increasing industrial-
ization and modernization of
business processes eventually
leading to surge in the adop-
tion of UC solutions.
Key market participants
include Alcatel-Lucent, Avaya,
Cisco Systems and Microsoft.
Leading vendors are emphasizing
simple-yet-customized business
communication offerings target-
ing everything from small and
medium-sized organizations to
larger enterprises.
Enterprise end-use applica-
tions dominated the overall
UC system industry last year.
Grand View said that they ac-
counted for nearly 50 percent
of the overall market owing to
the surge in adoption in SMEs
across various industry verti-
cals. Governments from countries
such as the U.S., Canada, UK, Ja-
pan and New Zealand are investing
in the adoption of such solutions,
along with schools, colleges and uni-
versities. The government end-use
segment is expected to witness sub-
stantial growth at a CAGR of nearly
20 percent through 2024, according
to Grand View.
Providers are committed to help-
ing channel partners tap this market
as well. For instance, UC vendor Swyx
recently announced its SwyxWare range
is now fully supported by SIP trunking
services provided by BT Wholesale, ex-
tending the choice of suppliers for voice
termination for its UK channel partners.
“This provides even greater choice
for our channel partners, who in turn
can pass on the combined benefits of
our latest unified communications plat-
form together with cost-effective con-
nectivity services provided by the UK’s
premier carrier,” said Swyx Internation-
al cloud manager Michael Landin.
