Web real-time communication or WebRTC is a novel technology that enables peer-to-peer audio, video, and data communication between two web browsers without any need of additional plugins or downloads. The user only requires a compatible web browser as WebRTC does not require additional frameworks, applications, or plugins such as Flash, JavaScript API, Silverlight, or others. WebRTC offers high performance and low latency and, which eliminates the extra costs associated with the bandwidths across the wire.

The global WebRTC market growth is attributed to cost-effective benefits of the WebRTC technology, advancements in communication through web, and increase in adoption on WebRTC technology among enterprises, owing to its easy access on mobile devices & desktops and high performance in low cost. Furthermore, rise in population, especially in Asia-Pacific, increase in ICT expenditure in the developing and the underdeveloped countries, high-speed connectivity, development of adequate internet infrastructure in Asia-Pacific, Africa, and South America, and surge in number of youth population using smartphones are expected to boost the market growth in the near future.
