Product customization, focus on improving quality, and development of various A2P channels are some of the key areas that vendors are likely to focus on during the forecast period.

Government Bodies and Agencies Lean Toward A2P SMS to Combat COVID-19
While the COVID-19 pandemic continues to cripple different industrial sectors worldwide, the A2P SMS market is anticipated to witness a sluggish period during 2020. As more number of governments across the world continue to fight the COVID-19 pandemic by enforcing lockdowns and announcing national quarantines, the average engagement and SMS traffic have experienced a considerable decline. The retail marketing sector is projected to remain the worst hit during the pandemic. However, traffic pertaining to online transactions, alerts, and notifications is moving in an upward trajectory, owing to a large-scale activity across the e-Commerce sector. An increase in one-time-password (OTP) and alerts traffic is expected to provide vendors a window of opportunity during the COVID-19 pandemic. Government bodies and other agencies are expected to utilize A2P SMS, as an effective tool during emergencies and create awareness regarding the COVID-19 disease.

Key Drivers of the A2P SMS Market
- Growth in mobile marketing activities by marketers and application developers: Application developers, marketers, and brands together utilize SMS services to strengthen their customer base, by updating their users with breaking news, campaign perks, location-based opportunities, and other important information. Marketers and brands prefer text messaging over other marketing initiatives, as it allows them to re-connect with customers, who have deleted their apps or have not used their apps recently. Impact of mobile marketing activities on the A2P SMS market is currently high due to the growing trend of SMS marketing in banking, financing services, gambling/betting, hospitality, leisure, and advertising industries. Brands are likely to increase their promotional activities, owing to which the impact of mobile marketing activities by marketers is expected to be high in the short and medium term of the forecast period. However, with digitalization and growing Internet penetration, brand promoters are likely to shift from SMS marketing to Email marketing in the long run.

Every handset in the world can send and receive SMS, owing to its simplicity and ease of use without advanced requirements. The simplicity and convenience in using SMS makes it an attractive platform/mode for brands that intend to communicate with their customers regularly. Financial and banking institutions and ticketing services are widely adopting the practice of interacting with their clients through SMS. While other industry verticals have been using SMS for several years, banking and finance industries adopted the practice of using SMS for balance notification only in recent years. It is anticipated to fuel market growth in the near future. Organizations that keep track of the health industry and offer services to drug manufacturers to reach healthcare practitioners and doctors, are also contributing to the market growth. Growth in the e-Commerce industry, availability of low-cost smartphones, along with growing penetration of Internet, mobile payments, and mobile banking is expected to drive market growth during the forecast period.

Key Restraints of A2P SMS Market
- Technical anomalies overshadowing bulk SMS: SMS is often associated with basic phone feature and therefore, is overlooked when brand promoters start dealing with smartphones. Bulk SMS service providers have not yet tapped the true potential of messaging technology as a marketing technique. This is primarily due to marketers and brand promoters are anxious about experiences and features that they can offer through apps and the mobile web, which often overshadows the features offered by A2P SMS. However, there are certain challenges such as leveraging SMS that can fit into a broad mobile strategy. Moreover, technical experts are required to set up an SMS program to ensure that permissions are structured properly from wireless carriers. Generating short codes used in SMS campaigns is another challenge for A2P SMS market growth. Since A2P SMS are dependent on the use of dedicated or shared short codes, brand promoters have to deal with ambiguity and complications associated with the set-up of short code, provisioning, and regulations.
