Decreasing Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) expected to increase demand for OSS/BSS solutions

The market for OSS/BSS in India and China is expected to reach USD 7.33 billion by 2020; according to a new research report by Grand View Research, Inc. Declining ARPU is expected to be the key driving force for the market over the forecast period. Grand View Research also observes that the rapid growth in the telecommunication industry and increase in the number of subscribers is expected to positively impact the market. [Read more…]

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/qvdzcf/ossbss_market) has announced the addition of the “2013 Report on the Asia Pacific and Global OSS/BSS Market – Global Forecasts to 2018” report to their offering. [Read more…]

Research and Markets has recently announced an addition to their reports, the Global OSS / BSS Market forecasts, 2016.

Services providers and carriers are under huge pressure due to a declining ARPU, increasing subscribers, growing demands of end-users, and increasing competition. In order to withstand the pressure, there was an urge to focus on innovation and explore additional revenue streams. This has increased the demand for OSS integration, thereby contributing to the growth of the market.

The report states that during the recent downtrend of the Telecom industry, issues with the internal systems in the Telecom industry were solved momentarily by making stopgap fixes in the internal system, which left the unconnected internal systems at a bit of a stumbling block in the long run. End-users find opting for next-generation OSS/BSS systems a cheaper alternative to upgrading their existing systems due to rising maintenance costs.

The key vendors dominating this space include:

— Accenture, Amdocs Inc.
— Ericsson
— Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd.
— Nokia Solutions and Networks.

01. Executive Summary
