PALO ALTO, CA--(Marketwire - April 7, 2008) - A new study showing market size, market
share, and four-year forecasts (2008 - 2012) for all core market segments
tracked by The Radicati Group, Inc. is now available.
The study shows that the worldwide installed base of active mailboxes will
increase from 2 billion in 2008 to over 2.7 billion in 2012. This
represents an average annual growth rate of 8% over the next four years.
In 2008, 78% of worldwide email traffic will be spam. This figure will
increase steadily over the next four years, totaling 83% in 2012. However,
only 56% of spam traffic is actually being delivered to end users in
2008 -- the rest is blocked by network or gateway spam filters. This
figure will decrease to 53% by 2011, as spam filters increase in
efficiency.
As demand for more efficient means of communications grows, so does the
market for real-time messaging. The Instant Messaging installed base is
expected to grow from 1.2 billion in 2008 to over 1.9 billion in 2012.
