The voice over internet protocol (VoIP) market was valued at $112.9 billion in 2023, and is projected to reach $263.0 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 9.6% from 2024 to 2032.
Voice over internet protocol (VoIP) is a technology that allows voice communications and multimedia sessions to be transmitted over the internet, rather than through traditional telephone lines. By converting analog voice signals into digital data packets, VoIP enables calls, video conferences, and other forms of communication to be carried over data networks, often at a lower cost than conventional telephony. VoIP has gained popularity due to its flexibility, cost savings, and integration with other digital services, making it an attractive solution for both personal and business communication needs.
Cost-effectiveness of VoIP for both businesses and individual users acts as the major driver of the global voice over internet protocol (VoIP) market. This is attributed to the fact that VoIP significantly reduces the cost of communication compared to traditional telephony, especially for international and long-distance calls. In addition, rapid increase in high-speed internet penetration has facilitated the growth of VoIP services, making them more accessible and reliable. According a study published by Statista in August 2024, there were approximately 5.45 billion internet users globally in as of July 2024. Moreover, organizations increasingly prefer unified communication platforms that integrate voice, video, messaging, and other collaboration tools, all of which are enabled by VoIP technology, thereby fostering the market growth. Furthermore, rise of remote and hybrid work environments has fueled the demand for VoIP services as they allow employees to communicate and collaborate from anywhere, supporting flexible work arrangements. As per a study conducted by Gartner—a leading American technological research and consulting firm—during the peak of COVID-19, approximately 88% of organizations encouraged and mandated their employees to work remotely. This trend is expected to stay, which, in turn, will significantly contribute toward the growth of the global voice over internet protocol (VoIP) market. In addition, surge in use of smartphones and mobile devices, along with advancements in mobile VoIP apps, is driving the market expansion, allowing users to make calls and access features without being tied to a physical location. However, dependence of many organizations on traditional public switched telephone network systems or high investments in older telephony infrastructure restrains the market growth. Moreover, power outage vulnerability acts as a key deterrent factor of the global market. This is attributed to the fact that VoIP services depend on both an internet connection and electricity. On the contrary, innovations such as 5G, cloud-based VoIP, and integration with AI for enhanced call quality and automation are expected to offer lucrative opportunities for the growth of the global market during the forecast period.
