Worldwide Corporate Mobile Email 2009-2013 Forecast and Analysis

This IDC study examines the corporate mobile email market for the period from 2008 to 2013, with vendor revenue trends and market growth forecasts. Worldwide market sizing is provided for 2008, including the 2008 calendar year subscriber number as well as the current installed base. A five-year growth forecast (by revenue) for this market is shown for 2009-2013. A vendor competitive analysis, with vendor revenue and market shares of the leading vendors, is provided for 2008. This study also includes profiles of leading vendors and identifies the characteristics that vendors will need to be successful in the future.

"The end of 2008 and the beginning of 2009 marked two significant changes to the corporate mobile email market. Two major mobile device providers, Nokia and Motorola, separately announced that they would no longer offer their solutions to the market. Nokia ceased its development and marketing of Intellisync and will focus on partnering offers, and Motorola sold its Good Technology group to Visto. Thus, the number 2 and number 3 players in the market are exiting, opening up new opportunities for Visto and other players," says Stephen Drake, program vice president, Mobility and Telecom.
