Infonetics: Allot Takes the Lead in Deep Packet Inspection Market; IT Vendors Eyeing DPI Acquisitions

Market research firm Infonetics Research released excerpts from its latest Service Provider Deep Packet Inspection Products report, which tracks deep packet inspection (DPI) software solutions and related hardware deployed in wireless and fixed-line networks.

ANALYST NOTE

"We saw significant M&A activity in the DPI market in 2012, with Allot (News - Alert) and Procera making acquisitions to strengthen their positions, and this consolidation trend has yet to run its course," expects Shira Levine, directing analyst for service enablement and subscriber intelligence at Infonetics Research. "A DPI acquisition would allow IT vendors to strengthen their capabilities within the network and complement their existing policy and charging assets to create solutions that support new pricing and service models."

DPI MARKET HIGHLIGHTS

• Service provider deep packet inspection (DPI) product revenue totaled $596 million worldwide in 2012, up 28%
• Allot pulled ahead of Sandvine (News - Alert) in 2012 to take the overall DPI revenue market share lead for the first time; Allot also tops the wireless DPI segment, while Sandvine leads the fixed-line DPI segment
• The wireless segment of the DPI market is forecast by Infonetics to grow at a 33% CAGR from 2012 to 2017
• DPI will be an integral part of operators' M2M strategies going forward, enabling identification and mitigation of the traffic generated by connected devices, and QoS guarantees for services like telematics and remote patient monitoring
• DPI will eventually move from core and access networks to device themselves so that operators can better manage signaling traffic, provide mobile security, and enable more granular subscriber controls such as parental control and shared data plan device control
