The global IP Multimedia Subsystem market revenue was US$ 2.38 billion in 2021. The global IP Multimedia Subsystem market revenue is forecast to reach US$ 7.2 billion by 2030, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.5% during the forecast period from 2022-2030.

IP multimedia subsystem (IMS) is a telecommunications concept using a network of integrated carriers for packet communications over wireless or landline in all formats. Communication methods include telephone calls, faxes, e-mails, Internet access, Web services, VoIP, instant messaging, video conferencing, and video on demand. IP Multimedia Subsystem uses standardized interfaces to break down the network into discrete layers of the application, control, and transport layers in order to improve scalability, flexibility, and extensibility.

Factors Influencing Market Growth

There are several factors that are driving the global IP multimedia subsystem market, including the growing data traffic in the global cellular network and increasing emphasis on improving the cellular infrastructure.
Longer deployment times of telecom infrastructure and higher maintenance costs of telecommunication equipment may negatively impact the global market growth.
Telecom technology advancements and rapid industry transformations will create lucrative opportunities for the overall IP multimedia subsystem market.
Impact Analysis of COVID-19

COVID-19 had a mixed impact on the global IP multimedia subsystem market. Many businesses relied on the telecommunications sectors to ensure business continuity during times of crisis, and hence this factor positively impacted the global market during the pandemic. However, due to disruptions in the global supply chain, many telecommunications industry players slowed their expansion/upgrade for their telecommunications network infrastructure due to the lack of necessary parts and labor during this period. As a result, telecom sector giants involved in sports or related domains suffered losses and had to rely on other sectors for income during this period.

Post-COVID-19, the global market for IP multimedia subsystems is forecast to grow as governments worldwide ease restrictions.
