Radio Access Network Market to grow at 5% CAGR from 2019 to
2025: Global Market Insights Inc.
Global Radio Access Network Market is set to grow from its current market value of
more than $9 billion to over $15 billion by 2025; according to a new research report by
Global Market Insights, Inc. Emerging as one of the most pivotal business spaces
defined by the ongoing demand for efficient network connection, radio access network
market is poised to garner substantial gains in the upcoming years. Undeniably, the
growth can be ascribed to the burgeoning demands for next gen 5G network.
In essence, radio access networks form an integral part of the telecommunication
systems connecting the individual devices to various other parts of a network via the
radio connections. Subsequently, RAN is positioned between any user equipment and
is developed to offer the connection with the core network.
Proliferation of the use of 5G network and multiplying data incentive applications have
enabled the telecom operators to enhance the cellular coverage on a large scale. Not
to mention, the government bodies are undertaking significant initiatives to aid the
commercialization of the 5G network. Say for instance, earlier in 2018, Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) structured the interstate communication services
in the US and issued a 1,550-megahertz spectrum to bring to use the 5G network for
the commercial wireless providers.
Introduction of favorable government initiatives for the technological enhancements
across the telecom sector is expected to support the ascending growth graph of the
radio access network market during 2019-2025. It is imperative to know that the Indian
government has announced investing nearly USD 100 billion by the end of 2022 in a
latest National Telecom Policy 2018 whilst supporting the telecom developments.
Replete with rapid urbanization and high penetration of cellular networks, the world is
increasingly preparing itself for an expansive deployment of 5G cellular network. The
current cellular network infrastructures are facing umpteen challenges owing to poor
network coverage. The growing connection challenges call for the development of
femtocells which are expected to augment the indoor cellular coverage in the
overpopulated regions. These cells enable the service providers to offer its customers
an improved indoor connectivity across small working areas. Estimates claim that the
femtocell segment accounted over 50 per cent of the global radio access network

market share in 2018 and is probable to grow at a commendable pace over the
forecast period.
The lack of proper connectivity and network across the suburban and rural areas has
led to an urgent need for the deployment of small cell connectivity systems. Evidently,
the traditional LTE systems have been proven to be highly expensive and are complex
due to unending requirements by the mobile operators. On account of the requirement
for efficient communication, the demand for RAN solutions is exponentially mounting
in these regions. The reason for considering small cells over macrocells as base
stations for cellular network is the potential of innumerable small cells to be positioned
rapidly over a large area as compared to other base stations. The placement of large
volumes of small cells in the suburban and rural regions would allow the segment to
depict a CAGR of 6 per cent through the projected timeframe.
Notably, Asia-Pacific would be one of the rapidly evolving regions in the radio access
network market with an anticipated growth rate of approximately 8 per cent through
2025. The emergence and high penetration of 5G cellular networks across the region,
chiefly led by India and China, will act as a primary driver for the regional RAN industry
growth. According to credible sources, India has securely held a prominent position in
the global market on the grounds of sales of more than 40 million smartphones during
the third quarter of 2017. Evidently, several industry majors are building up alliance
with other technology companies to advance the innovative radio access solutions. A
