The projected increase in mobile internet users in the Asia-Pacific region, reaching 2.7 billion by 2025 as per the Groupe Speciale Mobile Association (GSMA), is set to significantly boost the telecom API market. The expansion of 5G networks and smart cities will further amplify the role of APIs in enabling real-time, scalable, and personalized solutions, solidifying their importance in this sector. This surge in users will drive the need for seamless and efficient communication, data exchange, and service delivery, necessitating the widespread deployment of advanced Application Programming Interfaces (APIs). With the growing adoption of smartphones, IoT devices, and digital services, telecom operators in the region are likely to invest heavily in API-driven platforms, thereby driving market growth in this region.
The countries analyzed in this region include:
China leads with a major market share, recording nearly $25.15 billion in 2024.
China’s three major telecom operators, China Mobile, China Telecom, and China Unicom, have joined the Open Gateway initiative, exposing their network capabilities via APIs conforming to open gateway specifications. The specific API made available is the One Time Password (OTP) API, used for securing mobile applications and online services by sending a unique password via SMS for user verification.
Combined, they serve nearly 1.3 billion mobile users with over 1.7 billion cellular connections, including more than 800 million 5G connections.
Thus, led by major operators and rapid 5G adoption, the telecom market in this country sets a strong global benchmark. With extensive market reach, technological innovation, and alignment with international standards, China is positioned to shape the future of global telecommunications.
Telecom API market Forecast for Japan
In Japan, the telecom API market is expected to see growth due to specific industry trends like the deployment of advanced 5G networks and the expanding use of IoT in sectors such as healthcare and transportation. The country’s strong mobile user base, alongside rising demand for services like location tracking and real-time communication, is fueling the need for reliable API solutions. Moreover, the Japanese government’s support for digital innovation encourages businesses to adopt APIs for enhanced connectivity and data management across various applications.
The telecom API market is segmented by deployment type, service type and end-user. Based on deployment type, it is further classified into hybrid, multi-cloud and other deployment modes. The hybrid deployment refers to a model that integrates on-premises infrastructure with cloud services, offering organizations flexibility in data management. This model allows companies to maintain sensitive data on-site for security and compliance while leveraging cloud services for scalability and efficiency. Hybrid deployments are particularly favored by telecom providers that need to optimize resources, manage diverse workloads, and accommodate regulatory requirements.
