The change in consumer data consumption behaviour is additionally spurring growth in the market. Steep increase in the use of mobile apps, social networking platforms, internet search, and mobile payment systems, among others, is helping support consumer demand for mobile value-added services.

Rapid proliferation of 3G and evolution of 4G networks are opening up a range of possibilities for MVAS.

The MVAS market is also witnessing increased demand for utility based services such as M- health, M- governance, M-education, M-commerce, M- agriculture, and M-Law. Over the years, delivery of mobile services has witnessed radical changes supported by the rapid proliferation of App Store and Google Play.
