A new report by Juniper Research also claimed that the majority of these consumers will live in Europe and the US, as the rollout of mobile VoIP services is likely to be quicker in developed markets.
However, the study additionally suggested that developing markets could see a greater amount of mobile VoIP traffic than their developed counterparts, driven by the calling patterns of migrant workers.
Anthony Cox, senior analyst at Juniper Research, said: 'By 2012 we expect significant uptake of mobile VoIP in its various different flavours. By that date mobile VoIP will be available over both 3G and Wi-Fi networks.'
The report added that the market could see traditional telephony operators and new mobile VoIP providers establish alliances to capitalise on rising user demand.
Earlier this month, industry analyst Frost & Sullivan predicted that mobile VoIP revenues will grow from $605.8 million (£421.6 million) in 2008 to more than $29.5 billion by 2015.
