Outlook of the global distributed antenna systems (DAS) market
According to the analysts at Technavio, the global market for distributed antenna systems (DAS) will exhibit moderate growth and will post a CAGR of almost 2% during the period of 2016 to 2020. The proliferation of smartphones and tablets is a significant factor spurring this market’s growth prospects during the next four years. Due to the recent boom in the usage of smartphones and tablets, the need for a strong cellular network coverage has increased. This demand for a reliable mobile network coverage will, in turn, necessitate the use of DAS for supporting strong signal reception for smartphones and tablets, especially indoors. DAS are primarily signal boosters that strengthen the signal reception of cellular operators by removing dead spots. The ability of these systems to support multiple operators and interconnectivity with a number of other antenna modules will result in its augmented demand during the forecast period.
In this market study, analysts have estimated the development of smart cities to play a critical role in supporting this market’s growth prospects over the next few years. Smart cities are dependent on public Wi-Fi networks and cellular operators to offer services such as access to education, healthcare, infrastructure management, safety and security, traffic management, and waste and water management to consumers. As a result, the recent construction of smart cities coupled with the subsequent demand for Wi-Fi technology will drive the demand for DAS filters as they help in boosting signals in RF spectrums licensed to wireless carriers.
Competitive landscape and key vendors
This market is prone to a significant level of competition because of the presence of both large and small players. Since the adoption of DAS is largely spread across different segments, most market vendors compete on the basis of four major factors, namely price, innovation, quality, and performance.
Key vendors analyzed in this research are -
- American Tower
- Cobham
- Comba Telecom System Holdings
- CommScope
Other prominent vendors in this market are Advanced RF Technologies, Corning, Dali Wireless, Fiber Span, Harris Communications, Kathrein-Werke, Westell, and Zinwave.
Geographical segmentation and analysis of the DAS market
During 2015, the Americas dominated this market by accounting for a major part of the overall market share and is anticipated to retain its dominant market position until the end of 2020 owing to the growing demand for mobile data traffic enabled by supporting devices such as smartphones and tablets. This region is envisaged to account for almost 45% of the total market share by the end of the forecast period.
Growth drivers, challenges, and upcoming trends: Technological convergence
The availability of multiple features on a single platform is an emerging trend in the global DAS market.
