Enterprise A2P SMS refers to the method of sending messages to clients via mobile phone applications. Smartphone and mobile device adoption is projected to fuel market expansion. Due to growing business competition, industries are heavily investing in A2P communications.

According to Groupe Speciale Mobile Association (GSMA) Intelligence, the unique mobile subscriber base was 3.6 billion in 2014 and is expected to reach 4.6 billion by 2020. According to Gartner, text messages report a 45% response rate and a 98% open rate compared to email.
Market Dynamics:
Driver:
Cost-effectiveness and higher reaching capabilities of A2P SMS
Businesses have embraced email services as a formal forum for client communication over the years. In contrast, there is a yearly decline in email answers and opening rates. Most marketing and promotional emails also end up in spam and trash drawers. However, the situation is quite different for text messages. Because text messages can reach a wider audience, this form of enterprise SMS is becoming more and more popular across industries. A2P SMS is also quite affordable when compared to other forms of communication. In order to increase brand exposure and enhance the consumer experience, start-ups and small enterprises are swiftly deploying A2P messaging services.
Restraint:
Growing security threats
Over the forecast period, the market is anticipated to expand significantly across all industries. Nevertheless, during the anticipated period, market expansion is likely to be hampered by the growing number of privacy and security issues. The threat posed by grey routes is one of the major dangers that industries must deal with. According to a survey by Mobilesquared, the grey route cost USD 5.76 billion in losses in 2018. Similar to that, traffic blending presents difficulties for the service providers. Numerous businesses experienced problems with traffic blending even after firewall solutions were installed. This could impede the expansion of the enterprise A2P SMS industry.
Opportunity:
OTT Platforms
The OTT platforms include authentication tools that assist in validating user identity during registration. Authentications are necessary across a number of businesses for things like order confirmation, timely notification, order delivery confirmation, etc. OTT-based A2P SMS makes these sectors more productive. To send passengers a verified ticket, for instance, the online ticket seller RedBus employs the WhatsApp A2P messaging technology. Additionally, the service provider provides features like booking cancellation, refund status, real-time bus location, bus ratings, and deals. OTT messaging platform will hence probably increase market potential.
Threat:
Rising growth of the mobile messaging spam
The main element affecting consumers' trust in mobile messaging systems is scandalous activity including spam, phishing, virus, and spoof. As a result, the value of the brand is diminished, consumer loyalty to the brand declines, and operating costs rise. The worth of app developers, operators, subscribers, advertisers, and gadget makers are also impacted by such activities. For instance, the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) fined Tetrus Telecom, a telecom firm with headquarters in the United Kingdom, US$ 534,000 in 2012 for sending millions of illegal spam messages between 2010 and 2012.
Covid-19 Impact
The corona virus pandemic has had a significant impact on supply chain services as well as consumer behavior. This has had a significant impact on a number of service industries, including BFSI, media and entertainment, retail and e-commerce, and others. The transition from conventional business models to online platforms has increased the demand for client interaction and more effective communication services. As a result, during the epidemic, demand for this enterprise SMS increased. For instance, Twilio, an A2P messaging service provider, claimed in March 2020 that COVID-19 had caused a 90% increase in demand for its platform from the healthcare sector. Furthermore, businesses around the world are noticing a sudden increase in client inquiries as a result of the supply chain disruption. The number of people using online platforms has increased, as has the volume of transactions, alerts, and notifications.
The cloud segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
The cloud segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth, due to the messaging services that provides a very interesting and well-integrated marketing campaign that helps to improve client engagement. A secure mobile messaging experience is also offered by cloud-based enterprise platforms that seamlessly combine SMS, MMS, phone, and other services. This is boosting the demand for cloud-based enterprise A2P SMS.
The banking, financial services and insurance (BFSI) segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
The banking, financial services and insurance (BFSI) segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR growth during the forecast period, due to the growing online services and payment transactions in the BSFI industry. Banks and other financial institutions use application-to-person SMS services to remind customers to make payments, to send them one-time passwords, balance statements, and other information.
Region with highest share:
Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period owing to the increasing adoption of mobile phones and growing internet subscribers. The demand for enterprise A2P SMS services to engage customers is being driven by China and India's large and dispersed customer bases. Mobile operators and the telecom sector are expanding quickly in the area. This is probably going to accelerate market expansion in the area.
Region with highest CAGR:
Europe is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period, owing to the prominent industries in the region, such as BFSI, healthcare, retail, and e-commerce. Additionally, to raise their brand exposure, new and developing companies in the area are implementing A2P SMS services. This is probably going to increase demand for business A2P SMS in Europe.
