This research report also lists four other prominent vendors that are expected to impact the market during the forecast period. Value-added services (VAS) provided by telecom industry can be defined as the beneficial mobile services that are apart from the voice communication services. Traditionally, mobile service providers have been offering only voice communication services. The rapid advancements in technology have led to the evolution of other mobile services beyond the voice communication services to include non-core services. In other words, VAS adds more value to the core mobile services, thereby enabling mobile subscribers to use cell phones and tablets for several non-voice purposes such as sending SMS, MMS, and pictures; accessing the internet for reading news headlines and astrology, retrieving flight information, listening to music, and playing online games; and for m-commerce and mobile banking. Competitive vendor landscape According to the report, in the cloud-based VAS value chain, intense competition exists among stakeholders. Also, many large, medium, and small-sized cloud-based VAS providers are entering the market. Hence, the market competition is expected to further intensify during the forecast period. Currently, many leading mobile OS, handset, and device providers are earning significant revenue from cloud-based mobile value-added services (MVAS) applications through the mobile application store provided to them.
