OSS And BSS Market Research, 2033

The global OSS and BSS market size was valued at $19.2 billion in 2023, and is projected to reach $66.2 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 13.5% from 2024 to 2033. Operations support system (OSS) and business support system (BSS) are integral components in the telecommunications and other service-oriented industries. These components mainly support the management of various business and technical operations. OSS refers to a suite of applications or systems telecom operators use to manage their network operations. The primary functions of OSS include network management, service provisioning, fault management, performance management, inventory management, and configuration management. However, BSS includes systems used by telecom operators to manage business operations and customer interactions. The integral functions of BSS are customer management, order management, billing and revenue management, product management, and customer relationship management. By understanding the divergent roles of these two integral components, service providers can optimize network performance and streamline operational processes. Rise in demand for reducing operational expenses (OPEX), along with the growing adoption of convergent billing systems boosts the growth of the OSS & BSS market.

Competitive Analysis 

Recent Developments in the Global OSS and BSS Industry

  • In February 2024, Ericsson partnered with MTN Group for continued delivery to MTN of two flagship products from the Ericsson Business and Operations Support Systems portfolio, Ericsson Charging and Ericsson Mediation. These solutions are integrated with Ericsson Dynamic Activation (EDA) from the Ericsson Network Management portfolio. 
  • In December 2023, Nokia partnered with Innova, to create and deliver programmable network solutions. The partnership accelerates the digital transformation of enterprises in industries such as banking/financial services, transportation and logistics, technology, life sciences, retail, and industrial sectors. 
  • In September 2022, Amdocs launched Amdocs Charging, which combines the best of industry capabilities in charging and business support systems, from both Amdocs and Openet to support convergent monetization of new services across standalone 5G and beyond. Leading service providers, including two tier-one operators in North America, are already using Amdocs Charging to unite disparate monetization efforts across their IT and network. 

Top Impacting Factors 

Rise in Need for Lower Operational Expenses and Enhanced Customer Experiences 

Digital service providers in regions including Asia-Pacific and the Middle East are modernizing IT, telecom businesses, and network systems to improve customer experience and unveil various opportunities for new business and new revenue models by reducing operational expenses. This factor is expected to increase the adoption of OSS & BSS solutions and services across major industries such as telecom, BFSI, and retail & e-commerce. For instance, in March 2023, MTN introduced a program of work to migrate various systems to Microsoft Azure. It is called Project Nephos, and its principal aim is to deliver maximum value as early as possible by identifying the workloads most suited to being redeployed on Azure. This BSS & OSS platform automated end-to-end fulfillment processes and reduced operational costs by migrating subscribers as well as consolidating multiple BSS & OSS systems.  

Moreover, CSPs are finding it tough to add new customers with unmet needs, and with customer loyalty at an all-time low, operators seek ways to differentiate their products from those of their competitors. This factor is enabling the proliferation of OSS & BSS solutions among operators to enhance customer experiences and improve customer loyalty. 

Growth in Regulatory Support and Government Initiatives 

Globally, governments are increasingly focused on data protection and privacy regulations, such as the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). OSS & BSS solutions, with their robust security features, may often help end-users to comply with these regulations by proposing secure and privacy-improving compliance solutions. Furthermore, the push towards digital government services (e-government) increases the demand for reliable and efficient OSS and BSS solutions to manage the digital infrastructure and services. Hence, compliance with data protection regulations is expected to propel the growth prospect for the OSS & BSS market. 

Moreover, governments and regulatory bodies in numerous countries are actively investing in smart city initiatives, which require advanced OSS and BSS systems to manage integrated services and infrastructure, including utilities, transportation, and public safety. Thus, OSS & BSS solutions have the prospective to support these smart city initiatives by offering secure and convenient to improve urban living, enhance operational efficiency, and ensure sustainable growth. Thus, the rapid growth in smart city initiatives is expected to accelerate the market growth. 

Challenges to Integrate Future OSS/BSS Systems into Existing Ones 

Legacy OSS & BSS platforms are not equipped to support multiple programs. These platforms were designed to work either in a point-to-point or at best a point-to-multipoint manner. It is nevertheless challenging to ensure uniform service delivery across multiple mobility devices via the OSS & BSS platforms, which is further expected to limit the market growth. In addition, as users are utilizing multiple mobility devices, OSS & BSS providers might find it difficult to seamlessly deploy services to customers over different interfaces and networks. Moreover, the future OSS & BSS systems need to support voice over IP (VoIP), unified communications (UC), video, high-speed data, and a rapidly growing lineup of digital media applications. Legacy systems are not equipped to keep up with the pace, as well as the service providers find it difficult to upgrade these systems to new ones. Moreover, large enterprise operators may find it more challenging to switch to the cloud, owing to large captive legacy on-premise systems. Thus, all these factors collectively are anticipated to hamper the growth of the market during the forecast period.
