Deep Packet Inspection market (DPI) will grow 30% year-over-year for 2013 and Sandvine took the top spot in terms of market leadership for the first half of 2013, according to a new report from Infonetics Research. The leading market research firm released excerpts from its latest Service Provider Deep Packet Inspection Products report, which tracks deep packet inspection (DPI) software solutions and related hardware deployed in wireless and fixed-line networks. The growth in the DPI segment is driven primarily by the need to manage increasing data usage over the mobile networks due to bandwidth intensive Apps such as high definition video streaming and cloud based storage. The need to better monetize and manage subscriber experience are the other key factors for the continuous growth.
Highlights from the Report
As data usage continues to strain mobile networks, operators are turning to deep packet inspection (DPI) to better manage bandwidth use and to create innovative and bundled services
Infonetics forecasts spending on standalone DPI solutions to grow 30% year-over-year in 2013, driven largely by the mobile segment
The concept of “DPI inside” is gaining traction as manufacturers embed DPI into larger solutions such as video optimization, content charging, and service assurance
“As devices become more sophisticated, subscribers are using more bandwidth-intensive services such as video, and that trend will only intensify as operators roll out their LTE networks,” notes Shira Levine, directing analyst for service enablement and subscriber intelligence at Infonetics Research. “This is driving investment in DPI, often in conjunction with adjacent functionality such as policy, analytics, and real-time charging, to better monetize that usage and create more compelling offerings for the customer.”.
