These factors have resulted in the high adoption of VoIP and SIP trunking and is expected to drive the growth prospects of the enterprise media gateway market until the end of 2020.

The increasing adoption of cloud services can lead to a significant reduction in the total cost of ownership as it eliminates the need to buy and install the hardware in the network infrastructure. Cloud-based services are economical and are easy to install and update, so most start-ups and SMEs choose cloud services over on-premise solutions. Moreover, large enterprises are also shifting toward cloud-based services to minimize the expenses related to technology infrastructure and to streamline operations. This recent change in preference for cloud-based services will fuel the market growth in the next five years.
