Market Overview:
The global unified communications as a service market exhibited strong growth during 2015-2020. Unified Communications-as-a-Service (UCaaS) refers to an extension of the Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model that delivers telecommunication services through an integrated information protocol (IP) platform. It provides e-mail, instant messaging, call routing, videoconferencing and voice communication tools through single-tenant and multi-tenant services. The single-tenant service is used for connecting all on-premises applications together, while the multiple-tenant service is hosted on the cloud of the service provider and to enable multiple clients to share a single software platform. The hybrid-tenancy is used simultaneously for both single- and multi-tenant to optimize the balance of performance, scale, and security. UCaaS offers enhanced operational flexibility and aids in minimizing capital investments to acquire hardware equipment and outsource resources. As a result, it finds extensive applications across various industries, such as banking, financial services and insurance (BFSI), information technology (IT) & telecommunications, healthcare, transportation and logistics, and travel and hospitality.
The growing requirement for effective communication solutions across various industries is one of the key factors creating a positive outlook for the market. Furthermore, the widespread adoption of cloud computing solutions is also driving the market growth. Large organizations and small and medium enterprises (SME) are widely adopting cloud-based UCaaS solutions to simplify workflow processes, interpreting data and providing useful insights. In line with this, the emerging trend of bring-your-own-devices (BYOD) for enhanced enterprise mobility is also contributing to the growth of the market. Various technological advancements, such as the development of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML)-based solutions for advanced communications, are acting as other growth-inducing factors. These solutions offer various benefits, including automated transcripts, smart tracking of speakers and intuitive call recordings, which, in turn, is contributing to the market growth. Other factors, including significant improvements in the IT infrastructure, along with widespread adoption of public cloud, are expected to drive the market further. Looking forward, the global unified communications as a service market is expected to grow at a CAGR of around 22% during the forecast period (2021-2026).
