2G, 3G, 4G Wireless Infrastructure Revenues To Remain Flat in 2016, Report Says

HetNet and Wireless Network Infrastructure Market: Wi-Fi, WiMAX Evaluation for 2016 - 2030

A new wireless network infrastructure report released today predicts revenues will remain flat this year due largely to declining macrocell RAN and mobile core investments and will decline slightly over the next four years

The "2G, 3G, 4G & 5G Wireless Network Infrastructure Market: 2016 - 2030 - with an Evaluation of Wi-Fi and WiMAX" research report says wireless network infrastructure market is currently in a phase of transition as mobile operators seek to address increasing mobile traffic demands amidst global economic uncertainties. This paradigm shift is bringing new challenges and opportunities to infrastructure vendors.

In 2015, global 2G, 3G and 4G wireless infrastructure revenues stood at nearly $65 Billion. The research estimates that these revenues will remain flat in 2016, largely due to declining macrocell RAN and mobile core investments. Over the next four years, the market is expected to decline at a CAGR of 1%, eventually shrinking to $61 Billion by the end of 2020.

Despite the ongoing decline in the wider market, mobile operators are expected to significantly increase their spending in the evolving HetNet (Heterogeneous Network) submarket, which encompasses small cells, carrier Wi-Fi, DAS (Distributed Antenna Systems) and C-RAN (Centralized RAN) infrastructure. Small cell and carrier Wi-Fi equipment alone will represent a market worth $3 Billion in 2016. Supplemented further by DAS and C-RAN investments, the HetNet sector is attracting considerable attention from both established vendors as well as startups that solely focus on this submarket.
