New Study by The Radicati Group Shows Strong Growth for Both Consumer and Business Hosted Email Services in Asia/Pacific


PALO ALTO, CA--(Marketwire - June 15, 2009) - The Radicati Group, Inc.'s latest study, "APAC Hosted Email Market, 2009-2013," provides an in-depth look at all segments of the Asia/Pacific Hosted Email market, including: ISP/Webmail Email, Hosted Business Email, and Managed Business Email.

According to the study, the installed base of hosted email mailboxes in APAC is expected to grow from 675M mailboxes in 2009, to 998M mailboxes by 2013. ISP/Webmail growth in APAC reflects mainly the growth in Internet adoption by consumers across the region. Whereas, growth in Hosted Business Email is driven primarily by business organizations reassessing their IT strategies in the economic downturn, as well as SMB migration from free or very low-cost ISP/Webmail accounts to more secure and feature-rich email services.

The study provides an analysis of leading APAC market players: 263.com, Google, HostChn, Microsoft, NetEase, SingTel, WebCentral, NTT, Tata Communications, Yahoo!, and others.
