Global Mobile Deep Packet Inspection Market 2016-2020

This industry research report identifies Allot Communications, Cisco, Huawei Technologies, Procera Networks, and Sandvine as the key vendors in the global mobile deep packet inspection (DPI) market. This report also presents a competitive analysis of the market by product (stand-alone DPI and integrated DPI), by end-user (enterprises, governments, and ISPs), and by geography (the Americas, APAC, and EMEA).

Overview of the global mobile DPI market

Market research analysts at Technavio have predicted that the global mobile deep packet inspection (DPI) market will grow impressively during the predicted period and will post a CAGR of almost 22% by 2020. This market research analysis identifies the increasing need for IP fraud detection as one of the primary growth factors for this market. Network data and IP services have become the main targets of cyber-attacks. Though data transactions and network traffic are constantly being monitored, they do not analyze the traffic volume that includes details such as the identity of the user and the frequency of data being uploaded. DPI examines the content of data traffic and assists network operators in network planning and service assurance by easily identifying fraud though the user's identity is masked at the originating point.

In terms of geography, APAC will dominate the global market throughout the predicted period and will account for more than 47% of the total market shares by 2020. Much of this can be attributed to the increase in e-commerce, online gaming, social networking activities, and the adoption of video-enabled communications. Aimed at monitoring internet access and online activity of internet users, the government of China recently introduced several internet regulations that mandate the implementation DPI solutions by ISPs and government and private organizations. The rapid increase in incidences of cyber-crimes and the growth in mobile computing will also fuel the demand for DPI from this region.

Competitive landscape and key vendors

Due to the presence of a considerable number of large- and small-scale deep packet inspection vendors, this market appears to be is moderately fragmented. Major vendors have better manufacturing, financial, and technical resources and marketing strategies, and also offer new products and services to meet the requirements of the customers. The high growth potential of the market will attract new vendors, which will intensify the level of competition in the market. To remain competitive, vendors have to introduce new products using innovative technologies.

The leading vendors in the market are -

• Allot Communications
• Cisco
• Huawei Technologies
• Procera Networks
• Sandvine

The other prominent vendors in the market are Alcatel-Lucent, Bivio Networks, Blue Coat Systems, Citrix (ByteMobile), F5 Networks, ipoque, Juniper Networks, and Qosmos.

Segmentation by product and analysis of the mobile DPI market

• Stand-alone DPI
• Integrated DPI

The stand-alone DPI market segment will dominate the industry throughout the forecast period and will generate revenues of close to USD 2 billion by 2020. Stand-alone DPI products can be connected to the server directly without any configuration and are cost-effective, which helps in reducing the overall capital expenditure. Benefits such as video optimization, caching, and traffic steering are additional factors that augment the demand for stand-alone DPI products.

Segmentation by end-user and analysis of the mobile DPI market

• Enterprises
• Governments
• ISPs (internet service providers)

The increasing dependence on the Internet has led to a wide range of security threats that include spambots, DOS attacks, and malware. This has induced various end-users to implement deep packet inspection techniques to detect and neutralize malicious traffic before they can compromise network integrity. DPI solutions help end-users to create advanced policies to monitor network applications and also in ensuring mission-critical application performances and mitigating security risks.
