Western European IP PBX Forecast and Analysis, 2005-2010

Abstract

This study provides IP PBX vendor market shares for 2005 and a forecast for this market from 2006 to 2010. The study comprises projections of IP PBX revenue and unit and line shipment information for the 16 Western European countries. In addition it contains information for the total Western European market on the development of the installed base development of IP PBXs and IP lines.

"In 2005 the Western European IP PBX market grew at a rapid pace. This trend will continue in the next few years as IDC expects demand for more IP PBXs to continue to be driven by cost reduction, increased functionality, small IP PBXs, managed VoIP, standardization on the SIP protocol, integration with desktop applications, and the need for multimodal communications," said Rogier Mol, senior research analyst for IDC's European VoIP Infrastructure research service.
