About this new reportWith new forecasts and market sizing, the rapidly evolving worldwide mobile applications market is comprehensively reassessed in this exciting new market study – with particular focus on the current breed of hugely popular disruptive applications and services (Mobile Video, Social Networking, Mobile VoIP, Bulk Messaging Services, and Mobile Payments) and the threats and opportunities that they respectively present to mobile operators.
Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) are facing a variety of threats from disruptive mobile applications and services including the rapidly-growing demands of mobile video, social networking, mobile VoIP, bulk discount messaging services and new evolving mobile payments – all of which are discussed in this report.
MNOs have turned to value-added services in order to counter their falling voice ARPUs (Average Revenue per User) by increasing data ARPUs. And with mobile applications and services currently taking the mobile industry by storm and creating new opportunities, strategies are witnessing a seismic shift towards a stronger mobile applications focus in this quest to increase revenue. Certainly MNOs can ill afford to ignore these apps and services. After all, this innovative and this new league of apps and services has attracted millions of users worldwide and has helped MNOs to gain subscribers’ loyalty, and to also drive the next wave of subscriber acquisition.
But MNOs need to be mindful of the long term ramifications – including that emerging disruptive applications and services ultimately threaten their key revenue generators: voice and SMS. Many of these new apps and services are placing considerable demands on network capacity, much of which is not consistent with generating increasing service revenues from subscribers. This new study thoroughly examines the current breed of disruptive mobile applications and services, as well as the wider mobile apps market at worldwide and regional levels, app stores and app development:
