Direct Carrier Billing Market Forecasts to 2028 – Global Analysis By Type (MSISDN, Limited Direct Carrier Billing), Platform (IOS, Android), Application (M Commerce, Ticketing), End User (Gaming, Online Media) and By Geography

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Direct Carrier Billing Market is accounted for $28.90 billion in 2020 and is expected to reach $78.70 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period. Growing penetration of tablets and smartphones, online purchases for streaming subscriptions and game purchases and high demand for the DCB services across various sectors are driving the market growth. However, security and privacy concerns and expensive subscriptions are hampering the growth of the market.

Direct carrier billing (DCB) also known as direct operator billing, is an online mobile payment method that enables users to make purchases by charging payments to their mobile phone carrier bills. These payment methodologies are available on all feature phones and smartphones. This technology allows consumers to purchase merchandise and services from online stores that assist this payment option. Direct carrier billing empowers communications service providers (CSPs) to directly contribute in the over-the-top market by delivering a payment option for consumers on their mobile phone bills.

Based on the end user, the gaming and game developers segment is going to have lucrative growth during the forecast period as gaming applications and gaming consoles are undergoing major growth owing to an excellent market presence globally. The adoption rate is likely to increase in context to the gaming consoles for the DCB platform.

By geography, Asia Pacific is going to have high growth during the forecast period due to the rising growth of digital platforms in Asia Pacific and high investments in the R&D activities that are backed by smartphone penetration will present growth prospects for the market in the region. Moreover, smartphones are available in the market at affordable prices that will back the growing popularity of the digital content platforms in the region.
