Polycom, the unified communications (UC) provider, has announced sequential quarter-over-quarter market share gains in the video collaboration segment, for the past two quarters.

Polycom gained between 4.4 and 5.7 percentage points in revenue market share quarter-over-quarter in Q2 2012, according to research reports from leading analytics like International Data Corporation (IDC), Synergy Research Group and Wainhouse Research.

Polycom’s Q2 gains build on the company’s market share gains of up to 2.2 percent in Q1 2012, based on reports from all three firms. Overall, Polycom now holds more than 32 percent global market share at the end of the second quarter 2012, and gained nearly 8 percent global video collaboration market share in the first half of 2012, according to Wainhouse Research.

“Analysts recognise that Polycom is gaining share as the global market leader in video collaboration. We’re the outright market leader in high growth markets, including China and India, and we’re winning because we provide the best ease of use, deepest integration, and lowest total cost of ownership in the industry,” said Polycom CEO Andy Miller. “This growth trend is market validation that organisations large and small are choosing Polycom video collaboration solutions to boost productivity, speed time to market, and cut costs across their environments. From mobile devices to the desktop to the conference room, we offer the broadest portfolio of solutions across the widest range of devices that leverage existing investments and use up to 50 percent less bandwidth. These continuing market share gains are proof that customers are embracing our unique approach over that of our competition.”
