Palo Alto, CA – August 3rd, 2009 – The latest study by The Radicati Group, “Hosted Email Market, 2009-2013,” offers an in-depth analysis of the worldwide market for both business and consumer hosted email solutions. The study includes market trends, installed base and revenue market share by hosting provider, four-year forecasts, breakouts by region, business size, and email platform supported.

The study categorizes the Hosted Email market according to three segments: Hosted Business Email Providers, ISP/Webmail Providers, and Managed Email Providers. Microsoft Hosted Exchange is a rapidly growing sub-segment of the Hosted Business Email segment.

The economic downturn has brought renewed interest in Hosted Business Email services, as more businesses reassess their current email infrastructure in a desire to cut costs.

Email is also an integral part of everyday Internet use by consumers, leading ISP/Webmail providers are striving to increase stickiness by offering mobile support, easy connectivity to social networking sites, and integrated real-time messaging.

This study includes an analysis of leading market players: AOL, Apptix, CenterBeam, Ceryx, Electric Mail, Google, Hostopia, IBM, Intermedia, Microsoft Online Services, mindSHIFT, NaviSite, Rackspace, SherWeb, USA.NET, Yahoo!, and others.
