Global A2P SMS & cPaaS Market Growth (Status and Outlook) 2025-2031

The global A2P SMS & cPaaS market size is predicted to grow from US$ 31630 million in 2025 to US$ 41600 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.7% from 2025 to 2031.

A2P SMS messaging is also called enterprise or professional SMS. Businesses can use it in several technical modes to communicate with consumers, authenticate users of online services, or deliver time-sensitive alerts. In all the cases, communication is initiated from a business application, and not an individual’s mobile phone, as is the case with P2P SMS.

PaaS is an abbreviation for Customer-Platform-as-a-Service. A CPaaS offers application leaders a cloud-based, multi-layered middleware on which they can develop, run and distribute communications software. The platform offers APIs and integrated development environments that simplify the integration of communications capabilities (for example, voice, messaging and video) into applications, services or business processes.

Now, CPaaS platforms combine A2P messaging with an array of alternative communication channels that include voice, RCS, video calling and AI based services like chatbots. In addition, there is plenty of evidence that enterprises are on board, driven by the need to engage with consumers on the key battleground of customer service.
