The sharp rise in U.S. tariffs and the ensuing trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a significant impact on the information technology sector, especially in hardware manufacturing, data infrastructure, and software deployment. Increased duties on imported semiconductors, circuit boards, and networking equipment have driven up production and operating costs for tech companies, cloud service providers, and data centers. Firms that depend on globally sourced components for laptops, servers, and consumer electronics are grappling with extended lead times and mounting pricing pressures. At the same time, tariffs on specialized software and retaliatory actions by key international markets have disrupted global IT supply chains and dampened foreign demand for U.S.-made technologies. In response, the sector is ramping up investments in domestic chip production, broadening its supplier network, and leveraging AI-powered automation to improve resilience and manage costs more effectively.

The telecom billing and revenue management market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $22.72 billion in 2024 to $25.38 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to mobile subscriber growth, expansion of telecommunication services, increased complexity in pricing plans, customer demand for personalization, globalization of telecom operations, shift to prepaid billing models.
The telecom billing and revenue management market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $44.1 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to monetization of digital services, telecom industry consolidation, focus on customer experience, digital transformation initiatives, zero-rating and sponsored data, elastic charging systems. Major trends in the forecast period include convergence of services, subscription-based models, advanced analytics and ai, customer experience enhancement, blockchain integration, collaboration and partnerships.
The forecast of 14.8% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.4% from the previous estimate for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. This market may experience integration slowdowns if tariffs limit the availability of billing compliance engines and roaming reconciliation modules developed by overseas telecom IT vendors. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.
The anticipated growth in mobile and internet subscribers is expected to drive the expansion of the telecom billing and revenue management market. A mobile and internet subscriber refers to each individual who subscribes to or is authorized to access an STE Service delivered via the Internet. Telecom billing and revenue management systems are utilized by digital service providers and telecommunication companies to enhance operational efficiency by optimizing telecom networks. For example, in August 2023, the UK Parliament reported that by 2050, there will be an estimated 24 billion interconnected devices globally. In the UK, the number of smartphone users is projected to reach 61 million by 2024. Thus, the rising number of mobile and internet subscribers is fueling growth in the telecom billing and revenue management market.
The increasing prevalence of Internet of Things (IoT) devices is likely to enhance the growth of the telecom billing and revenue management market moving forward. IoT devices are nonstandard computing devices capable of connecting to a network wirelessly to provide data. IoT services typically involve complex billing models, including pay-as-you-go, tiered pricing, and subscription-based plans. As a result, telecom billing and revenue management systems must support these varied billing structures to meet the diverse requirements of IoT deployments. For instance, in September 2024, a report by IoT Analytics, a Germany-based strategic business intelligence firm, indicated that by the end of 2023, there were 16.6 billion connected IoT devices, reflecting a 15% increase from 2022. IoT Analytics anticipates this number will grow by 13%, reaching 18.8 billion devices by the end of 2024. Therefore, the growing number of IoT devices is propelling the telecom billing and revenue management market's growth.
