Application service provider (ASP) hosting services market continues to grow at a scorching pace aided by technological advances in software and hardware. The industry has really come of age over the past few years with the successful adoption of ASP by many large companies. Supplier partnerships and initiatives by vendors such as Microsoft, Oracle, Hewlett Packard, IBM, and others have also boded well for the ASP market. Driven by factors such as focus on profitability, large companies as ASP customers, and increasing partnerships in the ASP domain, the global application service provider (ASP) hosting services market (http://www.strategyr.com/Application_Service_Provider_ASP_Hosting_Services_Market_Report.asp) is forecast to reach $69.8 billion by 2015. Geographically, United States represents the leading market with little over 55% share in 2008, as stated by Global Industry Analysts, Inc. Asia-Pacific represents a fast growing market flaunting the potential to grow at a CAGR of 18.28% over the period 2011-2015.

E-commerce represents the largest application in the ASP hosting services market (http://www.strategyr.com/Application_Service_Provider_ASP_Hosting_Services_Market_Report.asp). Within e-commerce, B2B holds better prospects. However, long-term growth of this application type remains doubtful, as the market seems to have matured. Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and industry specific applications are expected to be the main ASP applications through 2010. Industry specific applications, also known as vertical applications, are expected to be the key applications for the ASPs. Although standardized applications offer the maximum benefit to an ASP, it may not be so beneficial to the customer as customization and integration with existing systems is not possible with these applications. Hence, customized applications for specific industries/ companies are expected to grow in importance in the future.

Awareness of ASP and its business advantages among the customers is rising continuously. ASPs, partners of ASPs, and various organizations including ASP Industry Consortium continue to educate people regarding the services and benefits offered by ASPs. Another major trend impacting the market dynamics includes hectic consolidation activity over the last five years in the ASP industry. Although the M&A activity has slowed down a bit in recent years, it continues to be a part and parcel of the ASP industry.
