Huawei, the Chinese telecommunications company, has approximately a quarter of global revenue from VoIP and IMS IHS Markit . Ericsson, the Swedish telecommunications company, holds around 21 percent of global revenue from VoIP and IMS, followed by Nokia and ZTE.

Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) allows users to make voice calls over a broadband internet connection instead of a traditional telephone line. Overall, VoIP revenue declined by 12 percent between 2017 and 2018 compared to the previous year. This decline is exacerbated by the sluggish development of the Voice over LTE (VoLTE) network and stagnant spending. VoLTE was the primary growth driver for VoIP and IMS, so the obstacles to broadband network expansion are hindering the VoIP market.
