Subscriber Data Management Market

Global Subscriber Data Management Market Size (2024 to 2029)

The global subscriber data management market is expected to reach USD 5.49 billion in 2024 and USD 12.35 billion by 2029, growing at an annual development rate (CAGR) of 17.6% over the conjecture period.

Subscriber data management, or SDM, is a crucial functionality of telecommunications networks. The growing number of network technologies, the advent of 5G, and advanced cloud architectures are fuelling the demand for subscriber data management software. The SDM solution is expected to grow at a sustained pace over the forecast period. It offers telecommunications operators a consolidated view of data from different databases. It also facilitates integration, unlike systems or applications, by providing access to transactions, translation of protocols, data transformation, and manipulation of the data schema. This protocol and data association capability allows operators to produce a unified interface for all applications to access information from all databases.

The commercial deployment of 5G should lead to major changes in the management of subscriber data. The shift from 4G to 5G involves many protocols and interfaces, as the latter technology needs a separation between data and network functions.

MARKET TRENDS

Identity management essentially consists of managing and authenticating a user's identity. The subscriber data to be processed includes identity information such as the multi-mobile subscriber integrated network (MSISDN) and the international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI), authentication information, customization information, policy settings, and configurations for special services. At the same time, it allows operators to share subscribers.

In addition, the increase in cyber-attacks related to subscriber identity phishing should increase the demand for subscriber identity management. Data may be lost for unauthorized monitoring or surveillance, even without knowledge of the content of localized communications, traffic data, or EMEA. Such an unintentional attack or disclosure can reveal large amounts of personal information and provide a detailed profile of an unsuspecting user unless network surveillance is properly protected. This generates the need for identity management.

MARKET DRIVERS AND RESTRAINTS

• The need to reduce opex and allow cross merger stimulates market growth.
• Growing demand for LTE and Volte subscribers drives market growth.
• The provision of the Internet Protocol Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) stimulates the growth of the market.
• The activity of telecommunications companies towards NFV contributes to market growth.
• Complex design hinders market growth.
• Lack of trust and confidentiality issues limit market growth.
• Response time due to centralized database hampers market growth

RECENT HAPPENINGS IN THE GLOBAL SUBSCRIBER DATA MANAGEMENT MARKET

• In May 2019, Nokia implemented a cloud-based subscriber data management system that will allow Vodafone Egypt to provide its customers with innovative 4G installations. With this implementation, Vodafone Egypt manages the data and verification of its subscribers from a central location in all systems, regardless of whether they are fixed or mobile, and offers better network efficiency and faster emergence of new services.
• In February 2020, Enea's Openwave Mobility Inc. introduced its novel Enea Unified Data Manager, a cloud-native networking feature that is independent of hardware and assists in 4G and 5G data management. The software implements the 3GPP functions of unified data management (UDM) in 5G networks and interacts with several 4G home subscriber servers (HSS).
• In November 2019, Irish communications service provider Eir launched its 5G network across the country. Powered by Ericsson's 5G core products and supported by subscriber data management solutions, customers across Ireland can now connect to 5G and enjoy improved mobile broadband access and fixed wireless access.
