Depends on what you mean with that :)
There are a lot of "depends" for a lot of questions. If you want a
question answered you'll have to elaborate a lot on what you exactly mean.

There are two known things though:
 - IPv4 address space is running short, and IANA will run out sooner
   or later, most likely in the next two years.
 - At that point in time your business has to have a solution.
   Possible solutions:
     - Do IPv6 - scales quite well, requires upgrades
     - Do IPv4 CGN - doesn't scale.

Your pick on WHEN you are going to do that. Can do it today, can do it
in ten years when the competition has your customers. Enjoy ;)
