Email Verification: How It Will Evolve

Email verification is seeing constant growth in the digital world, where entrepreneurs understand it is a vital part of their business. How will this service evolve? What innovations are we going to explore in the following years? We asked Miguel Tupas, our Junior Sales & Customer Success Manager, to share his thoughts on the topic today.

Miguel paints a necessary context that explains why email verification is so important. “The technological boom happening over the past few years has brought some positive and negative effects on society,” our colleague says. “With the increase in automation and bots, a large volume of emails will now be created and controlled by bots. This poses a threat to the multi-million dollar email marketing industry. It also disrupts the everyday email communication of millions of people worldwide,” continues Miguel.

In their Email Statistics Report (2017 – 2021), Radicati Group brought some useful data regarding the email industry. The study emphasizes that email continues to grow, not only in the business sector, but also among consumers. In 2017, more than 3.7 billion people had at least one email account. Radicati Group predicts that, by the end of 2021, the number of worldwide email users will exceed 4.1 billion.

With such impressive numbers, it’s easy to understand why email verification has become a core part of any kind of email communication. As email grows, email verifiers will have to adapt.

“The email verification industry will have to keep up with this technological advancement. How? By providing more intensive email validation tests as well as verification methods that will effectively hinder these bot-created accounts to persist,” our colleague Miguel says.
