8. • All depends on your customers mix
• Web companies with role in ecommerce / WFH – massive acceleration in revenue
• Traditional retail / travel verticals (20-80% decline in revenues)
• But, web companies in travel, e.g. Airbnb have maintained CPaaS traffic as people
are still travelling (see next slide) and increased chat around bookings
• General businesses have weathered pandemic with 10-20% decline
• Twilio, Zoom, and a few others in the 100+% growth are more the exceptions
• 5% have 30% increase on pre-pandemic estimates
• 30% have 10% increase
• 45% are unchanged
• 20% have 10% decrease
Impact of Pandemic on CPaaS / Messaging: Mixed

Market Size
• Biased by bottom-up
CPaaS-focused build,
missing lots of ‘traditional’
telco related A2P revenues.
• Similar CAGR BM = 31%,
CPaaS CAGR = 29%.
• Not trying to be complete
on A2P – focus is API related
(but its all converging).

• Similarly, wholesale versus
enterprise misses some of the
traditional A2P revenues.
• Enterprise includes web
companies and ‘aaS providers
(UCaaS / CCaaS)
• Enterprise CAGR 35%,
Wholesale 22% (guarantee
traditional A2P growth is not
22%). Think of it as ‘API’
Wholesale.
