Juniper Research forecasts that total end user spend via carrier billing will increase by 36% over the next two years; growing to $73.8 billion in 2024, from $54.4 billion in 2021. Growth will be driven by 5G-based mobile gaming and video subscriptions. Carrier billing spend on content bundling will enable operators to further recoup investments into 5G by charging a premium to facilitate high-quality video and games streaming over 5G networks.

• The report advises operators to expand the geographical reach of carrier billing; leveraging trust fostered between them and their subscribers, and becoming increasingly valuable partners to content providers. It identified the Indian Subcontinent as a key target region for carrier billing stakeholders over the next two years, with smartphone penetration in the region expected to reach 50% by 2024.
• The research also found that carrier billing spend on digital ticket purchases will grow by 250%; from $141 billion in 2021 to $275 billion in 2024. It predicted that the rise of new transportation modes, such as MaaS (mobility-as-a-service) will drive carrier billing spend for transit services by offering an improved user experience across a single app that can leverage carrier billing to process the payment. Additionally, RCS (rich communication services) messaging will provide an interface between MaaS users and transit service providers; offering real-time travel updates.
