Application programming interfaces (APIs) now are seen by many as a way to create new connectivity service provider revenue streams based on the licensing of access to network features.
But how big a revenue stream is possible. The answer depends partly on how we count such revenue and partly on the value developers see in using and paying for such APIs.
“How we count” matters.
Some forecasts seem to suggest very-large 2022 markets for APIs, but also seem to assume that the revenue is for the actual services or features an API might invoke, rather than the licensing revenue for using an API.
That seems to be the case for forecasts of global telecom API revenue potential of “$209.17 billion in 2021,” expected to reach “$829.26 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 16 percent during the forecast period, 2022-2030.”
That clearly is based on an assumption of connectivity revenues using an API of some sort.
