The A2P (Application-to-Person) messaging market refers to the communication infrastructure where automated messages are sent from applications to individual mobile users. These include OTPs, promotional messages, banking alerts, appointment reminders, security notifications, and customer engagement communications. With enterprises increasingly adopting digital channels for customer interaction, A2P messaging has become a critical tool for authentication, marketing, and service delivery. The rise of mobile banking, e-commerce, digital payments, and OTT platforms continues to expand message volumes globally. SMS remains the most reliable, secure, and widely supported channel, especially in regions where internet penetration is moderate. As businesses focus on personalized engagement and real-time customer communication, the A2P messaging industry continues to grow, driven by strong demand across sectors such as BFSI, retail, healthcare, travel, and telecommunications.
