Global Mobile Messaging to Exceed $88 Billion by 2012


Strategy Analytics (News - Alert) Inc. has released a report, “Global Mobile Messaging Forecast 2007-2012.” According to this report, spending on consumer mobile messaging services will rise 15 percent from $65 billion in 2007 to $88 billion by 2012. Usage of traditional PC-based messaging services like email and instant messaging through email will witness rapid growth due to the availability of low-cost flat-rate data plans. Mobile email is expected to account for 20 percent of total end-user mobile messaging spending by the year 2012.



 
According to senior analyst Nitesh Patel, “Mobile messaging, which includes SMS, MMS, mobile email and instant messaging, will account for over 40 percent of the total consumer spend on mobile media and messaging services in 2012. We anticipate growing adoption of consumer email access via mobile, as flat-rate pricing, combined with improving email provisioning and device user experience lower the existing barriers to adoption and usage of this popular PC messaging format.”

In North America, we expect healthy growth over the next five years with the region contributing to 25 percent of total end-user spend on mobile messaging by 2012.”
