WASHINGTON, D.C. – April 30, 2018 – Researchers report that the VoIP market is headed straight up with a predicted value of $204.8 billion and 348.5 million users by the year 2020.
According to a recent report, the VoIP market is expected to skyrocket to a value of $136.76 billion by the year 2020. 1 A separate report revealed the potential for even greater market value with numbers topping out at $204.8 billion. 2 This predicted growth takes the subscriber-based service a long way since the $70.90 billion market value in 2013. 1 “As more businesses recognize the benefits of VoIP services, the industry is seeing a tremendous spike in growth,” explains Amr Ibrahim, the CEO of ULTATEL and business veteran, “Most thriving large-scale companies and even entrepreneurs now see that cloud-based phone services are necessary to success and they offer much more than other systems.”
VoIP services truly are the wave of the future with the number of subscribers constantly on the upward swing. Within the next two years, the number of VoIP subscribers is predicted to top out at 348.5 million. 1 Users who employ computer-to-computer VoIP services are expected to be among those that see large-scale growth in the near-future. Researchers reported that while 2012 found only 57.4 million computer-to-computer VoIP users, this number is supposed to grow to 72.2 million users within the next year, shooting the market up from $20.74 to $24.74 billion. 2
As VoIP companies gain in popularity and experience, they also have more to offer businesses with their continuous technological advancements. While more traditional phone services are limited in their capabilities, users are finding that cloud-based VoIP subscriptions can meet all of their needs. 3
Bring Your Own Device capabilities puts cloud-based VoIP services in high demand. 1 With cloud-based services, individuals have the option to access their business line using any number, anywhere, at any time. BYOD is not only easier for employees, but also cuts down on the need for expensive telecom equipment for the company. The flexibility of these cloud-based telephone services makes them a big hit with not only large-scale corporations, but also small businesses and entrepreneurs who are just getting started. 1
Cost efficiency is also forefront in the VoIP service market growth. 1 Cloud-based VoIP services help companies to eliminate the need of an IT staff, thus providing them with the option of a more flexible budget. Packaged services also make it possible for businesses to pick and choose the services that they need to meet their specific goals and help their brand move forward.
Amr Ibrahim goes on to explain that small businesses account for a significant part of VoIP’s market growth. “Small business owners and entrepreneurs are recognizing that cloud-based phone services are just what they need to push their company toward greater things.
