Overview

Our "Network API" research suite provides operators, CPaaS providers, and other GSMA channel partners with extensive analysis and actionable insights into the rapidly growing network API market. It contains data that allows stakeholders in the market to make informed decisions on their product development and business strategies in the network API market. Since the launch of the GSMA Open Gateway and the CAMARA Project networks, APIs have become a key part of operators' future revenue strategies. The report assesses the present-day and future impact of current stable network APIs including Authentication and Fraud, Communication Quality, Communication Services, Computing Services, Device Information, Location Services, and Payments and Charging.

The report also analyses and provides strategy for non-stable network APIs, with recommendations being provided for network APIs in the areas of Know Your Customer (KYC), Population Density Data, and Network-as-a-Service (NaaS)-related APIs. This is in addition to assessing the different network APIs driving operator revenue both at present and in the future. The study includes case studies on Aduna's aggregation platform and the Bridge Alliance API Exchange (BAEx).

The report also features insights and analysis on how developers and enterprises are currently using network APIs, and which market verticals will be important to monetisation, including AI applications, banks and fintechs, cellular IoT, eCommerce, and gaming. It also looks at how operators need to update business systems, strategy alignment, and data protection and consent.

The report includes a Country Readiness Index; providing insight and analysis into which network API markets will experience the greatest growth over the next five years. This enables stakeholders to effectively understand the current and future status of more than 60 different network API markets.

The market forecast comprises of several different options that can be purchased separately, including access to data mapping and a forecast document, a strategy and trends document detailing critical trends in the market, and strategic recommendations for monetising and innovating services in the network API market.

The research suite includes a Competitor Leaderboard, which can be purchased separately; containing analysis and market sizing for 11 leading network API vendors, who are each working with operators to monetise network APIs.

Collectively, the suite provides a critical tool for understanding the network API market, allowing operators and other stakeholders to optimise their future business strategies and product or service development; providing them with a competitive advantage over their rivals.
