Even though most of them launched their chatbot on their own platform, in the near future, they will discover new channels. And, messenger platform will be a center of new business. This change is just a beginning. Messenger companies can make their new business on their messenger app, which means that they can do exclusive business as enclosed business. And, some messenger companies can box all business on their messenger app as open platform strategy. Nothing is set in stone.

However, one certain thing is that messenger app market will have higher growth than now, and they will be able to change our daily life.
