COVID-19 Impact Analysis
The pandemic has delayed network deployments and investments, causing disruptions in the telecom sector. The market for RIC solutions has been impacted by the need for many operators to delay the implementation of new RAN infrastructure. As a result, market expansion has momentarily slowed down. Positively, the pandemic has increased network traffic significantly because of remote work, online education, and greater reliance on digital services. The need for greater network management and optimization has been underscored by this increase in demand, opening doors for RIC solutions. The adoption of RICs may be influenced by operators' increased focus on optimizing user experience and network performance. The industry's focus on network virtualization and automation has increased as a result of the epidemic. Operators are increasingly searching for software-defined solutions like RICs to optimize their networks due to limited access to physical resources and the necessity for remote management. The market size for RICs may be driven by this trend toward virtualization and automation overall. The need for RICs is anticipated to increase as economies recover from the pandemic and operators resume their plans to develop networks. The deployment of 5G networks and the requirement for effective network management will probably be the main factors influencing market size in the post-pandemic period.Key Findings of the Study
