A market report on WebRTC has been announced. Judging by its title, it looks at consolidated revenues in the market for 2015 and at how companies in the field are expected to grow, with 2021 as a key year in the outlook.
WebRTC, short for Web Real-Time Communication, is an open technology that lets web browsers and mobile apps carry voice, video and data directly between users. Because it works inside the browser, people can join a call without installing a separate plug-in. That is why the technology often sits behind video calls, online customer support and team collaboration tools.
The title points to two angles. The first is a look back at consolidated revenues for 2015, which serves as the base year. The second is a look ahead at company growth, with the forecast reaching 2021.
The announcement does not say which firm prepared the study. It also gives no revenue totals, growth rates or lists of the companies covered, so none are reported here.
Even so, reports of this kind can help anyone who follows real-time communication software, from vendors to buyers of video conferencing services. They offer a snapshot of the market in its base year and a sense of where it may be heading.
