[July 03, 2009] Research and Markets Adds Report: Network Equipment Manufacturers Market Review Tweet Jul 02, 2009 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Network Equipment Manufacturers Market Review" report to its offerings. In a release, Research and Markets noted that report highlights include: Network equipment manufacturers (NEMs) play an ever-increasing role in helping communications service providers (CSPs) to run their networks more efficiently and cost-effectively. They have invested in their services and software organisation to help offset the pricing pressures they face in the hardware market. The global market for network management systems (NMSs) was worth USD4.6 billion in 2008 and will grow at a CAGR of 3 percent to reach USD5.5 billion in 2013. This growth will be led by NMSs for residential broadband, the market for which is forecast to grow at a 5 percent CAGR. Mobile NMS spending will grow more slowly, at a 4 percent CAGR, although it will remain the largest NMS market. Growth in spending on business services NMS will also be slightly lower, with a 3 percent CAGR. Maintenance will account for almost all PSTN NMS spending, which will decline at a -9 percent CAGR. The NMS market is dominated by the large NEMs Alcatel-Lucent, Ericsson and Nokia Siemens Networks (NSN), which had a combined share of 65 percent of the market in 2008. Huawei continues to grow rapidly, and is now a solid fourth-place player. Motorola and Nortel Networks both managed to remain in the top six. Ericsson leads in mobile NMS, Alcatel-Lucent leads in residential broadband NMS and Cisco Systems leads in business services. This 83-page report provides a detailed five-year forecast for NMS by service (mobile, residential broadband, business services and PSTN) and region (North America; the Caribbean and Latin America; Europe, the Middle East and Africa; and the rest of the world). It also provides forecasts for telecoms software professional services: business consulting, telecoms software consulting, systems integration, outsourced operations and managed or hosted services. The report includes market shares for the leading suppliers overall and in each of the service areas. It also provides definitions and deployment scenarios for NMSs within a CSP environment, and includes analysis of the market drivers and inhibitors for growth in all segments. The report addresses the following important questions: - Why are NEMs in position to provide more value to CSPs now than they have in the past? - Besides new equipment sales, how will NEMs benefit from the evolution to LTE? - How do regional differences impact the market for telecoms software professional services? - How will the global economic slowdown impact NEMs? - What impact do new services have on requirements for NMSs and demand for professional services? The report includes tables that compare 19 NEMs suppliers for NMSs and for telecoms software professional services. The leading suppliers' market shares are provided for the overall NMS market as well as in each of the service areas.
