Analysis of Market Size & Trends

The Global Video as a Service Market size is expected to reach $7.1 billion by 2027, rising at a market growth of 8.4% CAGR during the forecast period. Video as a service includes the delivery of point-to-point video conferencing offering through an outside provider over an Internet Protocol (IP) network. Moreover, a video conference sets up a live and visual connection among two or more entities locating at different places for establishing a better communication. Along with that, video conferencing also offers the transmission of static images, full-motion video images as well as text between two or more locations with high-quality video and audio between various locations.

The high growth potential of video as a service market is attracting various companies to the market that are offering solutions similar to the ones already available in the market. Due to this, the companies operating in this market are now increasing their focus on the development of the latest features and capabilities to improve the functions of their VaaS solutions. Owing to the various features provided by cloud architecture such as high flexibility, cost-efficiency, and better scalability, companies are increasingly shifting from on-premises video conferencing & collaboration solutions to cloud-based solutions. The increasing popularity of cloud-based solutions is estimated to surge the demand for VaaS solutions in the market.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The outbreak of the global COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the operations of almost every organization. The imposition of various restrictions like the travel ban, lockdown, and mobility restrictions has compelled organizations to utilize video conferencing for building better communication among the employees working remotely. This has positively impacted the demand for video as a service solution across the globe.

These solutions provide better communication and collaboration among individuals and teams, hence increased the adoption of these solutions among the companies during the pandemic. The disruption caused in the business efficiency across different industrial verticals has contributed to the increasing adoption of VaaS solutions by enterprises. Additionally, the features of VaaS like better client engagement, training, collaboration, and marketing would continue to expand the demand for VaaS solutions in post the pandemic.

Market Growth Factors:

Reduction in the overall cost of ownership

The deployment process of various business cloud service platforms is complex and needs a huge cost of ownership. Previously, companies have to specifically make infrastructure teams for the management of their cloud infrastructure on their servers. However, VaaS allows companies to minimize investments in developing the infrastructure since it is maintained by the Managed Services Providers (MSPs). Providers of various cloud-based solutions have service platforms implemented on their own servers.

Increasing demand for cloud services due to the introduction of 5G

With the introduction of 5G technologies, the cloud computing industry will witness major advancements. In addition, 5G enhances the integration of these advanced technologies with low to zero latency, which makes it more streamlined for communications. Improved mobile broadband would provide an effortless, best-quality experience for cloud video services like recording, conferencing, and storage.

Market Restraining Factor:

Increasing cases of data & security breaches

As video content is shared across different platforms, the chances of data and security breaches are high, which makes companies more concerned about their data. Additionally, there are several companies that are also more concerned about copyright and Digital Rights Management (DRM) owing to possibilities of information leakages, misuse, and data breaches. This may impede the growth of the video as a service market over the forecast period.
