The Radicati Group Releases New Study “Messaging Software Market, 2005-2009”

The latest study by The Radicati Group, “Messaging Software Market, 2005-2009” provides market size and trends, four-year forecasts, and competitive information for the worldwide messaging software market. The report also includes detailed e-mail traffic statistics by User Type, Mailbox Type, Region, Business Size, and Spam Traffic for consumer and corporate markets.
The study divides the messaging software market into two segments: Corporate Messaging Software – on premises e-mail solutions for businesses, and Messaging Software for Service Providers – software used for hosted e-mail services. Together, the two segments generated $2.5 billion in 2005, growing to $3.6 billion in 2009.

E-mail security continues to be a top concern for businesses and service providers. Spam traffic totaled 91 billion messages per day in 2005, and this figure is expected to reach 228 billion messages per day by 2009.

Microsoft maintained its lead over IBM Lotus in 2005 – MS Exchange has 23 million more seats than Lotus Domino. Uptake for Exchange 2003 continues to increase, and the release of Service Pack 2 for Exchange 2003, which includes DirectPush wireless e-mail technology, is expected to drive more users to Microsoft.

  1. Ohh dear. Radicati’s at it again.
    How can anyone take them seriously after the last 12 months – where they didnt even get the Microsoft numbers right ?
    Just google for Radicati and see what I mean…

  2. Bill,
    Somehow Radicati lost credibility for ever it seems as far as a lotus of IBM / Lotus enthusiasts are concerned (not sure about IBM’s official standpoint in this).
    I post links to Radacati research for the simple reason that they are one of the analysts who research the email / IM / Collaboration market and produce useful material.
    (seems like a deja vue, we had this same comment discussion last time around as well 🙂 )
    I can not comment on the details of this report because I haven’t seen it (yet).

  3. From my perspective : another report on the email solutions marketshares worldwide. Look at this in perspective to other reports from other analysts.
    If this report is way off I am sure IBM will produce some talkingpoints

  4. Ed,
    Yes ofcourse. I think we’ve had plenty of discussion around the topic all over the ‘blogosphere’ and there’s plenty of useful information.
    Microsoft’s leadership is not 1 to 1 related/dependend to the Radicati analysis. I think IDC, Gartner Group, Radicati and some local players all show the roughly the same thing with excpetion in certain geographies / countries.
    You have seen the Ducth marketshare figures 😉
    I have to say I do agree the fluctation in Radicati’s analysis (as you’ve described on your blog) does raise some questions, but I do not have access to the latest report, so I can not tell if there is a cause / reason for this.
