Mobile deep packet inspection (DPI) market: Key market research findings
- APAC dominates the market geographically
- Increasing adoption of DPI in fraud IP detection spurs market growth
- Key vendors – Allot Communications, Cisco, Huawei Technologies, Procera Networks, and Sandvine
Technavio’s market research analysts predict the global market for mobile DPI to grow at a CAGR of almost 22% between 2016 and 2020. The growth of this market is driven fundamentally by the increased adoption of DPI in IP fraud detection. The adoption of DPI provides leverage to the network operators in network planning and service assurance. For instance, shared plans and tethering allow users to connect to multiple devices through a single internet access point. In terms of revenue, APAC is leading the global mobile DPI market with a CAGR of more than 24%. The increase in e-commerce, online gaming, social networking, and video-enabled communication in the region are some of the key factors fueling the growth of the mobile DPI market in APAC during the forecast period.
The new market research report from Technavio presents a breakdown and analysis of the mobile DPI segments based on the product.
“At present, the rapid increase in DPI functionalities is an upcoming trend in the market. To enhance the capabilities of DPI products, vendors are offering higher system speeds, additional features, and value-added products such as additional security, video functions, and support for reporting tools and additional applications. They are also focusing on reducing the per unit manufacturing costs at a rate equal to or greater than the rate at which selling prices decline,” says Amrita Choudhury, Lead Analyst, ICT, Technavio Research.
Stand-alone DPI products can be connected to the server directly without any configuration, whereas integrated DPI products need to be synchronized so that can be used as an access point on the server. The stand-alone products segment has a higher market share than integrated DPI products due to its cost effectiveness, which reduces the overall capital expenditure. Video optimization, caching, traffic steering and fair use are some of the main features of stand-alone DPI products.
The key vendors in the global mobile DPI market include Allot Communications, Cisco, Huawei Technologies, Procera Networks, and Sandvine. As the mobile DPI market has grown, new competitors have entered and may continue to enter the market. The entry of new competitors into mobile DPI market such as F5 Networks with significant resources and established relationships with the potential customers could result in increased competition. The increased competition may cause reduced gross margins, price reductions of DPI products, and loss of market share.
