FORECAST SUMMARY
OTT business messaging traffic will grow to 375 billion in 2028, rising from 100 billion messages in 2023. Diminishing quality of SMS networks will drive enterprises that use mobile business messaging to explore alternative channels, including OTT messaging apps. As a result, operators are expected to lose over $3 billion of SMS business messaging revenue globally to OTT channels over the next five years.
- Reduced SMS network quality is being driven by the rising prevalence of fraud,whilst operators' SMS prices continue to rise to maintain revenue amidst slowingdemand for business messaging traffic. To capitalise on this plateauing SMSmarket, OTT app vendors must deploy pricing strategies that attract high-spendingenterprises away from established SMS channels. These strategies must separatetraffic by uses, charging a premium to enterprises for mission critical traffic, suchas MFA (Multi-factor Authentication).
- A large increase in OTT business messaging spend for retail, growing from $790million globally in 2023, to over $2.6 billion by 2028. OTT messaging vendors mustintegrate data from other retail channels into OTT business messaging activities. Indoing so, these vendors can position their apps as a key channel for retailers'eCommerce strategies. To maximise the potential in this space, it is imperative thatOTT messaging vendors directly integrate payment capabilities into apps tomaximise the channel's value proposition.
