Worldwide Corporate Mobile Email 2008-2012 Forecast and Analysis

Abstract

This IDC study examines the corporate mobile email market for the period from 2007 to 2012, with vendor revenue trends and market growth forecasts. Worldwide market sizing is provided for 2007, including the 2007 calendar year subscriber number as well as the current installed base. A five-year growth forecast (by revenue) for this market is shown for 2008-2012. A vendor competitive analysis, with vendor revenue and market shares of the leading vendors, is provided for 2007. This study also includes profiles of leading vendors and identifies the characteristics that vendors will need to be successful in the future.

"With much of the corporate market beginning to focus on deploying mobile applications beyond email, the corporate mobile email market may seem saturated and sometimes passé but despite the hundreds of mobile operators around the world and the many mobile software vendors that offer various corporate mobile email solutions, we are still in the very early stages of adoption," said Stephen Drake, program director, Mobile Enterprise.
