Western European IP PBX and IP Phone Forecast, 2009-2013

This IDC study discusses the Western European IP telephony market and provides a forecast for the IP PBX market (pure and hybrid) by lines/seats shipped, and IP phones shipped in Western Europe for 2009-2013.

"The current economic situation has most certainly had and will still have its downturn effect on the IP PBX market in the near future," states Melissa Fremeijer, IDC research analyst for unified communications (UC) infrastructure. "The Western European IP telephony equipment market will increasingly be shaped by the adoption of UC, which is driven by voice and data application integration through UC development platforms, mobility based solutions, and threatened by alternative solutions from desktop-based and carrier/service providers' managed or hosted UC."
