Video calling boom thanks to the pandemic and the adoption of services such as Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams.
According to a study by Juniper Research, in 2020 it reached the figure of 1.8 billion users subscribed to a service that allows you to make video calls via a mobile device.
A significant growth, equal to 50%, compared to the total of 1.2 billion recorded in 2019, therefore 600 million more in a year.
Furthermore, according to the report, regardless of the persistence of the health emergency, the number will continue to rise in the future, reaching 4.5 billion users in 2025. In practice, 50% of global 'mobile' subscribers.
North America and Europe are the two regions that will experience the greatest deployment of voice and video calling solutions over the next four years.
More than 70% of subscribers are expected to use 'mobile' video calling solutions in these regions by 2025, thanks to the increased use of smartphones.
The research also predicts that the global number of VoLTE connections, ie voice calls (Voice over Lte), will reach 5.5 billion by 2025;
up from 3.3 billion in 2021. This 60% growth over the next four years will be accelerated by the increased adoption of 5G subscriptions, as VoLTE services are included in the standards of next-generation technology.
