The global WebRTC market size was valued at USD 5.20 billion in 2023. The market is projected to grow from USD 7.03 billion in 2024 to USD 94.07 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 38.3% during the forecast period.


Web Real-time Communication is a free, open-source, and cost-effective technology that enables applications to work on top of an open standard. It allows developers to build voice and video communication solutions and supports voice, video, and generic data to be sent between peers. In addition, this technology enables real-time data transfer without the requirement for custom interfaces, additional plugins, or special software for browser integration. 


The WebRTC (Web Real-time Communication) market growth is mainly driven by the growing demand for real-time communication, the proliferation of smartphones, and the rising trend of remote work. According to the "State of Remote Work 2023" survey report by Buffer, around 82% of respondents stated that they are working from home compared to 69% in 2022. In addition, an Owl Labs survey in 2022 showed that around 87% of remote and hybrid workers preferred video conferencing for better engagement and understanding. For working-from-home practice, video conferencing tools are the most important, as these tools play a major role in collaboration and checking in with people. It is one of the most used technologies for video conferencing as it enables real-time, peer-to-peer communication directly through web browsers.


The COVID-19 outbreak increased the adoption of Web Real-time communication. During this period, live video conferencing and other WebRTC applications became beneficial in enabling remote communication across various sectors, including education, IT, and healthcare.


IMPACT OF GENERATIVE AI


Integration of AI with Real-Time Communication to Propel Market Growth


The integration of web real-time communication with Artificial Intelligence (AI) is an example of innovation that is changing how people exchange information and interact. Through this integration, communication technology unlocks new potential and enhances user experience. With a capability for learning and adaptation, AI greatly enhances web real-time communication applications. AI algorithms can optimize call routing, cutting down on wait times and improving service quality by analyzing user data and preferences. 


By integrating AI-powered speech recognition and translation services with web real-time communication, accessibility is improved and language barriers are removed from international communication. AI is changing customer service and telehealth consultations by allowing capabilities, such as emotion recognition, sentiment analysis, and engagement assessment through real-time analysis of audio and video data. However, integrating AI with web real-time communication presents unique challenges that require thorough preparation to maximize efficiency and user experience.    


WebRTC Market Trends


Growing Popularity of Live-Video Content to Augment Market Growth


As per the "State of Streaming Q1 2022" report by Coviva, live stream viewing minutes increased by around 10% in Q1 2022 compared to Q1 2021. Asia (excluding China) showed explosive growth, by 172%. Another survey shows that around 92% of internet users watch digital videos, and 27% watch live-streaming videos weekly. The demand for web real-time communication is significantly increasing alongside the rapid growth of live streaming. It has emerged as a crucial underlying technology for interactive live-streaming applications, such as online betting, bidding, and video conferencing. It is the only streaming protocol that can deliver media with the lowest latency of less than 500 milliseconds. Additionally, users can view the streams without downloading any additional apps or plugins due to native browser compatibility.

WebRTC (Web Real-time Communication) Market Growth Factors


Rise of Remote Communication Coupled with Proliferation of Mobile Devices to Fuel Market Growth


The rise of remote working has significantly changed the landscape of business communications, highlighting the need for efficient virtual communication tools and strategies. Real-time communication tools, such as web real-time communication, are becoming more and more prevalent as remote work, virtual events, and online learning become more common.


In addition, the proliferation of mobile devices is another major factor driving the market’s growth. According to “The Mobile Economy 2023” report by GSMA, mobile technologies and services contributed 5% of the world GDP, and around 5.4 billion people across the world subscribed to a mobile service by the end of 2022. With the proliferation of mobile devices, there is a rising need for mobile-friendly communication solutions, such as web real-time communication, due to its seamless compatibility with web browsers.


RESTRAINING FACTORS


Scalability Challenges Coupled with Complexity to Limit Market Growth


WebRTC is effective for one-on-one or small-group conversations. However, it can be difficult when scaling up and anticipating a large number of consumers. Its peer-to-peer architecture may strain servers, resulting in problems with performance and affecting user experience. Although it does provide certain customization options, developers who want total control over the features of their applications may find that web real-time communication may not fully satisfy their demands.


WebRTC setup and configuration are comparatively complex, particularly for those who are unfamiliar with the technology. This intricacy could deter certain users from attempting it or lead to configuration errors that negatively affect the user experience.


WebRTC Market Segmentation Analysis


By Solution Analysis


Video Calling & Conferencing Segment to Lead Owing to its Rising Demand and Seamless Functions


By solution, the market is segmented into voice calling & conferencing, messaging & file sharing, video calling & conferencing, and others.


The video calling & conferencing segment is predicted to hold the highest WebRTC market share during the forecast period. Web real-time communication offers the required APIs and protocols to set up direct connections between users, enabling them to communicate better. This technology is increasingly used in a broad range of applications, including online gaming, telehealth services, and video conferencing platforms for real-time communication. 


The messaging & file sharing segment is anticipated to record the highest CAGR during the forecast period owing to reliability and security offered by web real-time communication framework. It comes with built-in security protocol, ensuring files and messages security. Developers can incorporate file sharing features by breaking down files and sending them over data channels. Web real-time communication enables peer-to-peer file transfers without the requirement for intermediate servers.


By Deployment Mode Analysis


Cloud-based Web Real-time Communication Solution to Dominate with its Increasing Adoption


Based on deployment mode, the market is divided into on-premises and cloud-based. The cloud-based solutions segment is expected to dominate the market share and depict the highest CAGR during the forecast period as this approach allows organizations to leverage the scalability, flexibility, and accessibility offered by cloud computing. Businesses can cut costs and effectively integrate data with existing systems using cloud solutions. Cloud-based solutions often provide built-in security features, including encryption for data in transit and authentication mechanisms to provide safe communication between peers. 


On-premises deployment is highly suitable for organizations dealing with sensitive data. This deployment mode offers full control over the implementation, enabling extensive customization to address specific business requirements.


By Enterprise Type Analysis


SMEs Strong Growth is Credited to its Strong Adoption and Increased Digitalization


Based on enterprise type, the market is divided into Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs) and large enterprises. SMEs are predicted to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Rapid digitalization has a substantial impact on SMEs and offers lucrative growth opportunities. Web real-time communication adoption allows SMEs to cut costs, integrate real-time communication features, and improve customer engagement.
