Moreover, the increasing number of startups and small businesses that depend upon direct carrier billing platforms for greater payment coverage and improved financial accessibility is positively influencing the global market. Apart from this, the elevating popularity of over-the-top (OTT) streaming media services, including Netflix, Spotify, Amazon Prime Video, Sony, Hulu, etc., that accept direct carrier billing platforms for payment offerings, is also augmenting the product demand.
