PALO ALTO, CA--(Marketwire - June 9, 2009) - The Radicati Group, Inc.'s latest study, "EMEA Hosted Email Market, 2009-2013," provides an in-depth look at all segments of the European 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 EMEA is expected to grow from 398M mailboxes in 2009, to 564M mailboxes by 2013. Growth is driven by increased broadband Internet availability across the region, lower prices and better bundling of premium services. Businesses, throughout EMEA, are also taking renewed interest in hosted business email solutions as a way to reduce costs in a tight economy. This is reinforced by the increased availability of low-cost, full-featured messaging and collaboration suites from Microsoft, Google and others.

The study provides an analysis of leading EMEA market players: 1&1/GMX, Arcor, Arsys, BT, Cobweb, Colt, Free, Global SP, Jazztel, Jet Multimedia, Mamut ASA/Active 24, Orange Business Services, Register.it, T-Home/T-Systems, Telecom Italia, Versatel, and others.
