[1]Infonetics Research recently released a report entitled "IMS Equipment and Subscribers" that found strong continued uptake for IP multimedia subsystem (IMS) equipment and predicted global sales of IMS equipment will increase 74 percent in 2009. The report also found that Ericsson, Alcatel-Lucent and Nokia Siemens are the current leaders in IMC core equipment deployments.
The global IMS market is expected to grow at a rapid pace for the next five years, and the report predicted revenues will grow from around $200 million in 2008 to more than $2.5 billion in 2013. The report anticipated growth would be strongest in Europe, the Middle East and Africa initially, with Asia Pacific taking the lead at some point around 2010, as Chinese IMS deployments increase dramatically.
