Palo Alto, CA – June 14, 2010 – The Radicati Group, Inc.’s latest study, “EMEA Hosted Email Market, 2010-2014,” 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, including both business and consumer accounts is expected to grow from 536 million mailboxes in 2010, to 641 million mailboxes by 2014. Growth in the consumer sector is driven by increased broadband penetration to the home. Whereas, in the business sector growth is driven by a desire to cut costs and increase flexibility as workforces become increasingly mobile. Uptake of Hosted Business Email solutions is also fueled by the increased availability of low-cost, full-featured messaging and collaboration suites from Microsoft, Google and others.
