NEC today said it overtook Cisco to become the number vendor in the global PBX / IP PBX market in Q1 2014.
With a market share of 13 percent, NEC remained ahead of Avaya.
MZA’s latest Global PBX/IP PBX Market report for calendar Q1 2014 said that NEC retained its Q1 2013 global leadership in solutions below 100 extensions/licenses (excluding Micro PBX products) in Q1 2014, repeating its 17 percent market share in that segment.
NEC did not share the market share of Cisco and Avaya.
The growth driver was NEC’s continued strength in Asia Pacific, as well as strong share growth in North America helped it to maintain global market share and take top position.
Will Parsons of MZA said that NEC performed well in its home region and improved its volume growth in North America, Latin America and Western Europe.
