Global Subscriber Data Management Market Research Report, By Solution (Policy Management, User Data Repository), Network Type (Mobile, Fixed), Organization (SME, Large Enterprise), Deployment Model (On-Premise, Cloud), Application (HLR, HSS) — Forecast till 2027

Subscriber Data Management Market Overview

The Subscriber Data Management (SDM) Market is estimated to grow from USD 1.97 Billion during the historic period to USD 17.27 Billion during the predicted forecast period, at a CAGR of 17.03%. Subscriber data management is the process of combining and integrating subscriber profile data from mobile and fixed networks into a unified virtual data repository. It supplies telecom operators with technologies that enable them to integrate data from various data repositories. Despite the fact that telecom network operators are constantly expanding their technologies such as 3G, 4G-LTE, and Wi-Fi, they must still provide their users with a consistent service experience, which can only be accomplished by authenticating subscriber identification across the network. As a result, regardless of the network provider, subscriber identity must be handled centrally, which is accomplished through the subscriber data management market.

Subscriber Data Management Business gives businesses a new approach to integrating subscriber data, allowing them to save operating costs and create a better customer experience. A good Subscriber Data Management Market Research Report will lower operational costs, provide operators with control over their data structure, and provide an integrated view of subscribers across all services, among other things. In the next few years, these factors are projected to propel the Subscriber Data Management Market Growth.

COVID 19 Analysis

The COVID-19 epidemic has had a significant influence on all businesses. The impact on any industry has a direct impact on the region's economic growth. The unprecedented spike in COVID-19 cases around the world, as well as the accompanying global lockdown to combat the virus's transmission in the first two-quarters of the pandemic has put many businesses on high alert. Because of the aforementioned factors, technological investments across all businesses fell during the pandemic. During the pandemic, however, the increase in subscribers across multiple platforms had a favourable impact on the subscriber data management market across the area. The Global Subscriber Data Management Market has benefited from COVID-19. The adoption of cloud models is growing at the highest rate, with scalability, speed, all-around services, and improved administration skills all playing a key role. Thus, this has increased the Subscriber Data Management Market Profit.

Market Dynamics

• Drivers

The expansion in the number of mobile users and mobile devices, the adoption of network function virtualization (NFV) and IP systems, and growing subscriber demand for LTE and VoLTE technologies, among other factors, are all driving the Subscriber Data Management Market Growth. Furthermore, the necessity to lower network operational costs by exploiting high-per-node capacity is propelling the Global Subscriber Data Management Market. The Subscriber Data Management (SDM) Market solution unifies and manages the subscriber data of network carriers, including access preferences, services, locations, authentication, identities, and presence, into unified data repositories. Also, it improves the carrier networks by lowering their operating costs while maintaining consistent service to users. It also allows operators to examine subscriber data in a centralised manner, allowing them to monetize their subscriber data more effectively. Subscriber Data Management Market Research Report also assists telecom operators in lowering network complexity, the total cost of ownership, and time to market for new services.

• Restraints

Subscription data management market growth may be hampered by sophisticated architecture and data protection concerns. The market is being held back by the complexity of subscriber data management solution design. The slow rate of digitization in emerging nations, which is hampered by the adoption of the Subscriber Data Management Industry, is expected to hamper subscriber data management market profit. On the other hand, any disruption to the normal operation of the Subscriber Data Management Business could have serious consequences, such as a network outage.

• Technology Analysis

Network function virtualization (NFV) and heterogeneous networking are two of the most recent technological advances in the Subscriber Data Management Industry (HetNet). Because it allows for seamless integration of new apps, servers, and storage, NFV makes the network faster, simpler, and scalable, saving the operators’ time and money on procurement and racking. Additionally, while employing the subscriber data management system with network function virtualization, operators in the virtual environment require the flexibility to add or remove additional nodes with little influence on performance while maintaining the functional integrity of the system's front-end applications.
