WebRTC Market Outlook and Forecasts 2021 – 2028

WebRTC Market Outlook and Forecasts 2021 – 2028

Web Real-time Communications (WebRTC) provides a framework, protocols, and API that facilitates real-time interactive voice, video and data via a Web browser. The requirement is only a WebRTC-enabled browser (HTML5). Because WebRTC requires no plug-ins and works natively, it can be implemented and operated very easily on PC's, laptops, TVs, tablets, smart phones, and wearable devices.

Our research indicates that WebRTC supported services will usher into the ICT ecosystem a next-generation services ecosystem of communications, applications, content, and commerce. This study evaluates WebRTC technology, evolving ecosystems, solutions, and applications. It also addresses the role of value chain partners, WebRTC APIs, enterprise applications, telecom operators, and other CSPs within the evolving ecosystem.

This report also assesses WebRTC features/functionality, use cases, and adoption expectations for enterprise and consumers. The report covers the WebRTC solution landscape with vendor analysis focused on business models for each company/solution. Forecasting provides revenue by categories including solution, service (Implementation, Integration, Consulting, and Maintenance), industry verticals, deployment models, and application. In addition, the report contains forecasts for WebRTC devices and users globally and regionally from 2021 to 2028.

Select Report Findings:
• WebRTC will be the RTC platform of choice with the introduction of 5G and the expansion of OTT offerings
• Cloud-based Communications, Applications, Content, and Commerce (CACC) will benefit greatly from WebRTC
• WebRTC is a key component of an overall CACC strategy for CSPs as they seek to retain customers and grow revenues
• CSPs are stumbling with the implementation of RCS, making WebRTC deployment critical as well as partnering with various third parties
• While WebRTC is table-stakes for CSPs, they also have revenue potential from back-end integration with their most important customers: enterprise
• Telecom APIs are a key component to overall WebRTC success for the entire value chain as well as leveraging telecom data in a cloud-based DaaS business model
