The global rich communication services market size is expected to reach USD 12.46 billion in 2030 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 25.3% from 2024 to 2030. Rich communication services (RCS) platforms overcome the limitations of SMS and provide additional services such as high-quality image sharing, chat rooms, and read receipt. Adoption of such mobile services by various businesses to enhance customer experience is anticipated to drive the market for rich communication services during the forecast period.

Companies from various sectors use RCS platforms for marketing their products and services. The rising spend on mobile advertising over the past few years is expected to fuel market growth over the forecast period. According to the global system for mobile communications association (GSMA), in 2018, the global spend on mobile advertising was USD 185.0 billion as compared to USD 109.0 billion in 2016. Furthermore, rising number of mobile SIM connections is projected to up-keep market growth in the near future.

Lack of end-to-end encryption is expected to impede the growth of the market for rich communication services during the forecast period. This lack of encryption in RCS platforms allows external sources to intercept and manipulate the user’s calls and texts. Attackers who are in the same network as that of the user and have the user’s phone number, can use their IP address and impersonate, creating complications. However, organizations such as Verizon; AT&T, Inc.; and T-Mobile are focusing on implementing end-to-end encryption in their RCS platforms to cater to the end-user requirements.
