• In contrast, Healthcare & Life Sciences is projected to be the fastest-growing vertical, with a CAGR of 17.5% over the forecast period. The growth reflects the industry's need for secure, cost-efficient and scalable communication infrastructure to support privacy, compliance and remote collaboration.
• Regarding deployment mode, public cloud–based PBX systems lead the landscape with 55% market share in 2024, as they offer scalability, ease of deployment, and remote accessibility.
• On geographical grounds, North America remains the largest regional market in 2024, supported by mature cloud infrastructure and widespread adoption. Meanwhile, the Asia-Pacific region (including emerging economies like India) is poised for fastest growth (18% CAGR), as increasing digitalization and cloud adoption drive demand for scalable and affordable PBX solutions.
• The competitive environment remains fragmented, with several major service providers — including AT&T Inc., Verizon, Cisco Systems Inc., 8x8 Inc., Lumen Technologies Inc., Avaya LLC, Mitel Networks Corp. among others — competing on service quality, pricing strategies, and breadth of offerings.
• Despite robust growth, the market faces a critical challenge in maintaining Quality of Service (QoS). Because hosted PBX relies on internet connectivity (rather than dedicated phone lines), issues such as network congestion, packet loss, and increased load from rising user numbers can degrade voice and data quality — putting the onus on providers to manage and monitor network performance continuously.
