Christian Leo: “First of all, we should note that we are talking about the Western market here, in many other parts of the world SMS are still popular in P2P communication. In Germany, however, the number of P2P users has been declining since 2013, after reaching its peak the previous year. According to the Federal Network Agency, a total of 59.8 billion text messages have been sent in Germany in 2012.
However, in A2P communications, the number of SMS sent has been growing steadily for many years. SMS are still considered a trustworthy, secure and direct means of reaching customers. Forecasts show that the demand for SMS in A2P communication will continue to grow in the coming years.”
