200 Million VoIP Subscribers Predicted by 2015

According to recent analysis by Point Topic, Over 22% of consumer broadband lines worldwide now come with VoIP. “Passing 100 million subscriptions by the end of 2009, VoIP has continued to grow, adding another 12 million subscribers in the first half of 2010,” says John Bosnell, Senior Analyst for Point Topic.

In France alone, 70% of households have VoIP service available to them.

However, “China, the largest broadband market, has only one in 20 broadband subscriptions with a VoIP bundle. The US which is currently the largest VoIP market in absolute terms is closing in on one in three mainly due to cable companies offering their customers a voice service based on VoIP. So there’s plenty of headroom there and around the world,” added Bosnell.

According to the analysis, US$ 15 Billion per year was being generated by VoIP in 2009, which is almost double the revenue generated by Security, the next nearest value added service.

“VoIP has come a long way in a short time. It’s attractive to consumers as it is priced very competitively in terms of subscription and call charges. It’s attractive to operators as it’s a straightforward implementation that offers a chance for them to differentiate their services. There’s no reason to believe growth is going to slow significantly until a market reaches saturation and we could reasonably expect to see 200 million subscribers by 2015,” concluded Bosnell.
