Carrier Aggregation Solutions Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges
Based on our research output, there has been a neutral impact on the market growth during and after post COVID-19 era. The increase in global mobile data traffic is notably driving the carrier aggregation solutions market growth, although factors such as interoperability issues may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the carrier aggregation solutions industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Carrier Aggregation Solutions Market Driver
The increase in global mobile data traffic is one of the key factors driving the growth of the global carrier aggregation solutions market. Mobile data traffic is experiencing exponential growth, which is mainly driven by data-capable devices and high bandwidth applications. According to Cisco, over two-thirds of the global population will have access to the internet by 2023. The number of global internet users is expected to increase from 3.9 billion in 2018 to around 5.3 billion in 2023. In addition, the number of devices connected to the IP network is expected to increase from 18.4 billion in 2018 to 29.3 billion in 2023, globally. As a result of these factors, bandwidth demand will begin to exceed supply from macro networks. This will result in poor service quality for customers. A loss in service quality is a challenge for the company, as it is likely to lead to a higher churn rate, resulting in an increase in customer retention costs. To overcome this challenge, carrier aggregation solutions are being deployed in base stations or cell towers, thereby driving the market.
Key Carrier Aggregation Solutions Market Trend
The increased investments in 5G in urban areas will fuel the global carrier aggregation solutions market growth. 5G is the next generation of communication technology, following 4G. On commercialization, 5G will support data download speeds up to 10,000 Mbps. There have been numerous investments in 5G across the globe. For instance, in July 2020, International Business Machines Corp. (IBM) announced its plan to enter into a collaboration with Verizon Business to work together on 5G and edge computing innovation. Similarly, in July 2020, ZTE Corp. announced a collaboration with True Corporation Public Co. Ltd. (True) to build a commercial 5G network in Thailand. Moreover, The transition from 4G LTE to 5G can be achieved through the use of carrier aggregation for the following reasons such as carrier aggregation denotes the concatenation of multiple carriers. This increases the bandwidth and consecutively data rate of the system. LTE R-10 provides support for 5 CCs. As numerous companies are likely to release 5G during the forecast period, investments across all verticals, which include 5G equipment, infrastructure, and deployment techniques will increase. This type of increasing investment in 5G will result in the need for carrier aggregation solutions, thereby driving the market.
Key Carrier Aggregation Solutions Market Challenge
The interoperability issues are a major challenge for the global carrier aggregation solutions market growth. Interoperability is defined as the functioning of separate software and systems to exchange information seamlessly. Carrier aggregation is a part of the LTE-A spectrum; hence, it requires a separate sideband and supporting software to assist in its deployment. Carrier aggregation can be deployed by using a depreciated 4G spectrum. For instance, equipment from Huawei Technologies is incompatible with any gear from Ericsson. Such interoperability issues have delayed the commercialization of such equipment in regions such as Europe. The lack of an ecosystem will also affect its operation, as software upgrades are expensive. Also, differences in interoperability will compel vendors to re-design their equipment, which will further lead to a delay in the deployment of carrier aggregation. This, in turn, will hinder the growth of the market during the forecast period.
This carrier aggregation solutions market analysis report also provides detailed information on other upcoming trends and challenges that will have a far-reaching effect on the market growth. The actionable insights on the trends and challenges will help companies evaluate and develop growth strategies for 2021-2025.
