Infonetics: Enterprise SBC Market Grew 42% in 2013

CAMPBELL, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Market research firm Infonetics Research released excerpts from its 4^th quarter 2013 (4Q13) and year-end Enterprise Session Border Controllers market share, size, and forecast report.

ANALYST NOTE

“Demand for enterprise session border controllers (eSBCs) continues to be strong as businesses transition to SIP trunking. North America remains the primary region for the eSBC market, but enterprises in other regions, particularly Europe, are accelerating adoption of SIP trunking, which in turn should positively impact eSBC sales outside North America,” notes Diane Myers, principal analyst for VoIP, UC, and IMS at Infonetics Research.

ENTERPRISE SBC MARKET HIGHLIGHTS

• In 2013, the global enterprise SBC (eSBC) market grew 42% year-over-year, to $255 million
• Over 3/4 of eSBC revenue in 2013 came from North America
• Cisco and Oracle are neck-and-neck in the highly competitive enterprise SBC space, where competitors are chipping away at market share
• Currently, fewer than 10 of vendors make up the majority of global enterprise SBC revenue
• The competitive landscape within the eSBC market remains dynamic, with over 20 vendors offering some form of SBC functionality; the smaller vendors collectively make up a large portion of total revenue
