The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to secure access to corporate resources, flexible work environments, digital transformation initiatives, extended lifecycle for legacy devices, focus on mobile security. Major trends in the forecast period include.
The growth of the mobile virtualization market is expected to be fueled by the rising adoption of cloud-based solutions. Cloud-based solutions refer to software, services, and resources delivered over the internet and hosted on remote servers, rather than on local servers or personal computers. Mobile virtualization contributes to cloud-based solutions by enabling the installation of multiple operating systems on the same mobile device, enhancing multi-functionality, and allowing users to access enterprise computer systems from virtually any device. For example, in December 2023, a report from Eurostat, a Luxembourg-based statistical office, indicated that 45.2% of enterprises in the EU utilized cloud computing services in 2023. These services encompass internet-based access to software, computing power, and storage capacity, marking a 4.2 percentage point increase compared to 2021. Thus, the growing adoption of cloud-based solutions is driving the expansion of the mobile virtualization market.
The increasing adoption of smartphones is anticipated to drive the growth of the mobile virtualization market in the future. A smartphone is an electronic device that connects to a cellular network, featuring a touchscreen interface and an operating system capable of performing various functions similar to a computer. Mobile virtualization enables cost-effective manufacturing of mobile phones by reusing software, and the growing popularity of smartphones will boost the demand for mobile virtualization. For instance, in October 2023, a report from the Global System for Mobile Communications Association (GSMA), a UK-based organization, revealed that the global expansion of 4G and 5G networks has allowed over two-thirds (69%) of smartphone users accessing mobile broadband to do so on 4G-enabled devices, while 17% are using 5G-enabled devices. This trend is mainly driven by mature markets such as North America and the East Asia & Pacific region. Thus, the rising number of smartphone users is contributing to the growth of the mobile virtualization market.
A notable trend in the mobile virtualization market is the emergence of strategic collaborations among companies. To enhance their market share, mobile virtualization companies are actively engaging in strategic collaborations and partnerships. For instance, in December 2023, Rakuten Mobile partnered with the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) to conduct research and development for the commercial deployment of fully virtualized 5G standalone mobile network radio access network equipment. This collaboration aimed to leverage general-purpose hardware and cloud technology, improving performance and expanding network capabilities through virtualization technologies like 5G SA and RAN slicing.
Major companies in the mobile virtualization market are concentrating on introducing advanced virtual and physical spaces to innovate mobile virtualization technologies, aiming to gain a competitive advantage. These virtual and physical spaces facilitate collaboration among leading mobile virtualization technology firms and ecosystem partners to advance virtualized network technologies, including aspects like virtualization, management, and orchestration. For example, in June 2023, GoTo, a US-based company specializing in communication and collaboration tools, as well as IT management solutions, launched GoTo Resolve MDM, a mobile device management solution designed to help IT teams secure, configure, and manage various devices, including smartphones, tablets, and laptops. This solution allows for centralized management of both company-owned and personal devices, enhancing security and compliance across multiple operating systems such as iOS, Android, macOS, and Windows. Furthermore, it simplifies the deployment of applications and device configurations, enabling IT teams to automate tasks and maintain control over their mobile environments.

The mobile virtualization market includes revenues earned by entities by providing desktop as a service, desktop subscription service, workspace-as-a-service. The market value includes the value of related goods sold by the service provider or included within the service offering. Only goods and services traded between entities or sold to end consumers are included.
Mobile virtualization involves the division of mobile hardware into different logical devices and components. This technology facilitates the concurrent operation of multiple users on a single mobile device by hosting diverse operating systems (OSs) simultaneously. Its primary purpose is to enhance the capabilities of mobile devices, with predominant use in IT and cloud-based companies.
The key technologies in mobile virtualization encompass hypervisors, application containers, mobile device management, and others. A hypervisor enables a single host computer to support multiple guest virtual machines, effectively sharing resources like memory and processing. Organizations of various sizes, including large enterprises and small to medium enterprises, make use of mobile virtualization. The applications span across enterprise and consumer domains and find utility in sectors such as retail, media and entertainment, energy and utilities, BFSI, IT and telecom, among others.
