Top Impacting Factors

Current and future 4G Equipment industry trends are outlined to determine the overall attractiveness of 4G equipment market. Top impacting factors highlight the 4G Equipment market opportunities during the forecast period. Factors such as a significant rise in network traffic due to the rise in M2M connections, mobile, and wireless devices is the major factor driving the growth of 4G network equipment market. In addition, booming consumer demand for high-speed connectivity and supportive government and industry initiatives are also the crucial factors that drive market growth. However, concerns pertaining to the network are expected to hinder the growth of 4G equipment market. Furthermore, expansion of 4G network in rural areas is expected to provide major opportunities for the market in upcoming years.

Significant growth of network traffic

Network traffic is the amount of data moving across the internet network at any given point of time. The exponential rise in the number of internet users and the proliferation of smartphone and mobile devices are leading to the growth of network traffic. As per the statistics provided by the Cisco Visual Networking Index (VNI), the global IP traffic was 122 EB (Exa byte) per month or 1.5 ZB (Zetta byte) per year in 2017. The global IP traffic is expected to reach 396 EB per month or 4.8 ZB in 2022 experiencing a growth at a CAGR of around 26% from 2017. The global number of internet users is expected to reach 4.8 billion people by 2022 with the Asia Pacific accounting for 2.6 billion users. This rise in network traffic is majorly arising from growth in M2M connections, smartphones, mobile, and wireless devices. Consumer Video on Demand (VoD) traffic, internet video surveillance traffic, and Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) network traffic are also expected to rise with significant growth in coming years. The emergence of new social media platforms and applications are expected to further propel the rise in network traffic in the coming years. To accommodate such huge network traffic and deliver strong network bandwidth, telecom operators are expanding their 4G infrastructure, which is expected to drive the 4G equipment market growth in coming years

Thriving consumer demand for high-speed connectivity

Last few years have witnessed the strong proliferation of wireless mobile devices and smartphones in various emerging regions including Asia Pacific, South America, and the Middle East and Africa. These mobile devices and smartphones are equipped with roughed hardware components such as RAM, ROM, processors, and HD displays. This integration helps these devices to smoothly run the high definition videos, games, and other applications. Therefore, consumers nowadays demand strong internet connectivity to play HD video on demand on their devices and play online interactive mobile games that require strong and efficient network connections. Further, strong adoption of cloud computing technologies has put many enterprise applications over the cloud. Enterprises need to access and work on these applications in real-time, which requires strong internet connectivity. Therefore, enterprises from various industry verticals are also demanding strong and sustainable internet connectivity. The increase in the need to reduce the connectivity gap is driving the adoption of 4G equipment by various telecom service providers (TSPs).

Expansion in rural areas

Rise in competitive rivalry, lowering costs of data packs and penetration of smartphones are fueling the growth of 4G equipment market. The expansion by telecom service providers in rural areas of the region presents a lucrative growth opportunity for the service providers. Currently, around one out of every three 4G network users lives in rural areas and this number is expected to grow in coming years. Urbanization in various developing economies has led to growth in a number of internet users. Telecom service providers have to put substantial efforts on expensive integration undertakings and complex coordination to deliver services in rural areas. Automation is expected to help service providers automate new service launches, network upgrades, and complex tasks. A significant portion of the population in various emerging regions including Asia-Pacific, South America, and Africa lives in rural areas. Expansion in these areas presents strong 4G equipment market opportunity growth in coming years for players.
