Abstract
Demand for IP Services Fuel Videoconferencing Infrastructure Systems Markets
in the Asia Pacific
End users in the Asia Pacific region are fast shifting from integrated
services digital networks (ISDNs) to IP-based videoconferencing that comes
with better compression features and lesser bandwidth costs. Currently, more
than two-thirds of videoconferencing is done through IP networks. While
countries such as China, Australia, and New Zealand boast of first-rate IP
infrastructure, other nations in the region are making fast progress. As the
acceptance of IP technology continues to grow, enterprises are keen on
adopting a common platform that unifies the various conferencing elements.
This would allow them to dynamically scale bandwidth and work on diverse
applications in a cost-effective manner.
This Frost & Sullivan research service provides an overview of and an outlook
for the videoconferencing infrastructure systems market in the Asia Pacific
region. The study segments the markets into multi-point control units (MCUs)
or bridges, gateways, gatekeepers, and management tools. It provides detailed
revenue forecasts and market share analysis and is essential for both large
and small market participants seeking maximum return on investments.
Burgeoning Wireless Industry Calls for Quality Videoconferencing Applications
"The phenomenal growth of the wireless industry in the Asia Pacific has
spurred the demand for enhanced data and video applications," points out the
analyst of the research. "Though at present, the application of
videoconferencing in third generation (3G) networks is limited; this factor
could stimulate the adoption of videoconferencing by mainstream mass markets."
Further, mobile videoconferencing is set to create larger awareness and
subsequently a consistent need for videoconferencing infrastructure systems
(especially the desktop and room-based ones). Another noteworthy trend is the
increased customer interest in hosted bridge services, which is expected to
generate greater revenues for the videoconferencing infrastructure market in
the Asia Pacific region.
Videoconferencing Infrastructure Market Capitalizes on Immense Potential for
Revenues in the Asia Pacific Region
Between 2004 and 2011 the total market is likely to experience a compound
annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.3 percent. "During this period, China is
expected to be the market leader, with control over half of the regions total
videoconferencing market," says the analyst. "India is fast emerging as the
next strong market and its CAGR for the same period is projected at 28.5
percent".
Primarily, continual improvements in the video compressing technology,
adoption of mobile videoconferencing, declining price points and rising
popularity of IP are stimulating the growth of the market. Enterprises are
also benefiting from the steady improvement in the consumers awareness of the
videoconferencing and allied technologies.
