The email delivery services market may be divided into submarkets based on end-use sector, enterprise size, platform, application, and region. Current trends depict healthy prospects for commercial email service providers (ESPs) owing to a reduction in the market’s adoption and usage of specially created or in-house email platforms. End-users appear to be switching to commercial email delivery service providers due to more efficient and competitive options.

The global email marketing software market is estimated to expand at a CAGR of 11.8% between 2022 to 2029, growing from $1.26 billion in 2022 to $2.76 billion by 2029. North America is projected to hold the largest share, 10.23%, in the email service provider market by 2029. The region has a sizeable presence of businesses that can easily be regarded as the driving force for the growth of the email service provider industry in North America. Rapidly growing start-ups and developing SMEs are wide adopters of email delivery services, mainly for email marketing campaigns, to introduce their products, launch new products, and promote their products or service across the globe.

According to a survey conducted by AWeber in 2020, 66% of small businesses utilize email marketing to support their business operations and reach out to their consumers for lead generation. Additionally, 79% of small businesses find email service providers pivotal to their business development strategy, whereas 60% deem their email marketing strategy efficient.

The advancing support for interactive emails by way of Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP) technology also presents the email delivery services market with a big opportunity to grow. AMP, developed by Google, is designed to enhance the presentation of web content, particularly on cellular devices, and allow end-users to create interactive platforms for their audiences effortlessly. Additionally, as spam emails and threats like phishing, ransomware, and impersonation attacks proliferate via email, email delivery service providers will have rewarding prospects to use machine learning (ML) algorithms and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to create better solutions that flag and filter potentially dangerous emails, enhancing end-user security.

Here is what Artisan Partners specifically said about HubSpot, Inc. (NYSE:HUBS) in its Q2 2022 investor letter:

Demand for HubSpot, Inc. (NYSE:HUBS) ‘s customer relationship management SaaS platform has been robust as companies continue to make front office investments. Despite positive fundamental momentum, shares traded lower during Q2 as investors rotated out of high-growth stocks with elevated multiples. Furthermore, the market has not been favoring solidly profitable businesses that are investing heavily to develop new products and drive new customer additions. Meanwhile, we are monitoring the company’s exposure to small-and-medium-sized businesses given the potential for a recession over the near-to-intermediate term. We recognize a downturn would likely have an impact on HubSpot’s growth metrics, though we believe its mission critical cloud tools— marketing and sales force automation, customer service and website content management—would prove relatively resilient. In addition, the company has moved toward serving somewhat larger customers in recent years, which should offer further protection. For these reasons, and with shares trading at an attractive discount to our PMV estimate, we added modestly to our position.

Weak returns in Communication Services were largely due to Russian internet business Yandex, again connected to rising Russian risk and the weak ruble.
