Rich communication services (RCS) refer to a carrier-implemented text-based protocol, which is designed as an alternative for short message services (SMS) and multimedia messaging services (MMS). It enables users to create group chats, send attachments, like images and videos files, get read receipts, and have support for end-to-end encryption through smartphones. RCS offers various benefits, such as higher-targeted communication to reach consumers, security, better streaming of audio and video, one app functionality, and improved sender verification.

Rich Communication Services (RCS) Market Trends:


The widespread adoption of RCS across various industrial verticals, such as healthcare, information technology (IT), hospitality, entertainment and banking, financial services, and insurance (BFSI) sector, is one of the key factors driving the RCS market growth. In line with this, the increasing investments in the long-term evaluation (LTE) and IP multimedia subsystem (IMS) for facilitating the next generation of broadband mobile services is acting as another major growth-inducing factor. Additionally, the RCS finds extensive application in the corporate sector for peer-to-peer (P2P) messaging, marketing, campaigning, and advertising strategies, which is further contributing to the market growth. Apart from this, the strategic collaborations between the key players for advancing RCS and the implementation of universal communication protocol specification by the global system for mobile communications association (GSMA) for enabling operator service interoperability are propelling the market growth. Other factors, such as the introduction of 5G network and the integration of RCS with several technological solutions, like cloud-based, artificial intelligence (AI), voice over long-term evolution (VO-LTE), and application programming interface, to promote the next-generation messaging and chatbot interaction, are creating a positive outlook for the market across the globe.
