Factors Governing Virtual Mobile Infrastructure Market

Increasing preferences toward cloud based VMI platform has been observed to be one of the key trends in the global virtual mobile infrastructure market. Cloud-based solutions involve Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model, in which users can access VMI platforms virtually, through the internet. Cloud deployment of VMI platforms offers greater flexibility and scalability, affordability, and low IT infrastructure costs in terms of deployment to the users. As a result, SMEs are increasingly adopting cloud based VMI platform to prevent data loss.

Increasing adoption of BYOD is one of the key factors driving the growth of the market across the globe. Presently, enterprises are looking for ways to increase the efficiency and productivity of their employees. As the demand for mobility in the workplace is increasing from the employees, enterprises have started implementing BYOD policy. Adoption of BYOD policy helps organizations to increase productivity as well as it also reduces the IT expenditure and IT setup time for organizations. VMI empowers organizations to host their mobile apps on servers and provide personalized, remote access to their apps from any device. Since the environment is remote, no apps or data are stored on the employee’s own device which increase the data security.

Increasing penetration of 5G network would further boost the growth of the global virtual mobile infrastructure market in the coming years. Fifth generation cellular network technology offers increased speed and bandwidth. Data transfer speeds are projected to be about 10 times higher with 5G as compared to 4G. Increasing penetration of 5G would minimize the barrier of slow internet connection as 5G is expected to provide 10 times decrease in end-to-end latency as compared to 4G, which would further enhance the VMI user experience.

Virtual Mobile Infrastructure Market Segmentation Analysis

On the basis of offering, the market has been bifurcated into platform and service, wherein platform category held the larger share in the market in 2018.
