Players in this market can gain competitive advantages by entering into agreements and collaborations and bundling their service offerings.

Premium messaging is broadly segmented as PSMS and PMMS, which are again segmented into A2P (Application to person) and P2A (Person to application) messages; depending on the origination and termination of the messages. A2P premium messaging comprises larger share of the pie when compared to P2A market as it’s highly commoditized by certain activities like mobile marketing. From an application perspective, premium messaging is divided into billing and micro payments, voting and entertainment, subscriber services including information on demand and mobile marketing services. The frequency of P2A (Person to application) MMS is the lowest; mainly due to the initial high cost and compatibility issues. Micro payments and billing by far is the dominant application; Mobile marketing is the fastest growing segment as it provides marketers with opportunities to directly target niche segments.
