The growing internet penetration is expected to drive the growth of the interactive voice response (IVR) market in the coming years. Internet penetration refers to the proportion of a population or geographic area that has access to the Internet. IVR systems can help enhance internet accessibility by offering a user-friendly, voice-based interface for individuals who may lack direct internet access or prefer interacting through voice commands. For example, in February 2023, Meltwater, a Netherlands-based software company, reported that the number of internet users in the UK increased by 224,000 (+0.3%) between 2022 and 2023, reaching a total of 66.11 million users. Additionally, the UK had 35 million LinkedIn members and 28.75 million Instagram users, with LinkedIn’s potential ad reach growing by 2.9% during the same period. Consequently, the rising internet penetration is contributing to the expansion of the interactive voice response market.
Major companies in the interactive voice response (IVR) market are focusing on developing innovative solutions, such as interactive voice response-to-text products, to gain a competitive advantage. These products aim to provide equal access to information and communication for all users, regardless of their device capabilities. For example, in May 2024, Verint, a US-based system software company, deployed its AI-powered bots, specifically the Verint Intelligent Virtual Assistant (IVA), to automate around 80% of its customer interaction traffic. This automation allows the company to allocate human resources more efficiently, ultimately enhancing service delivery.
In August 2023, RingCentral, Inc., a US-based IT services and consulting company, acquired Hopin for an undisclosed amount. The acquisition includes Hopin's technology assets, customer relationships, as well as its engineering, product, and go-to-market talent. This move aims to enhance RingCentral’s video solutions, enabling the company to offer customers a broader range of options and specialized video use cases for interactive events.
