Industry Overview
The global cloud radio access network (C-RAN) market was valued at USD 8.8 billion in 2020, growing at a CAGR of 18.0% during the forecast period. Cloud radio access network (C-RAN) refers to the centralized/cloud radio access network and is the liaison between the core network and mobile phone users. Increasing the number of mobile phone users, adoption of cloud infrastructure across industries, competition among the mobile network providers for launching 5G networks are expected to boost the demand for low cost and vastly scalable C-RAN technology.
The major drivers in the market include accessibility to LTE and 5G networks, expense reduction measures taken by the mobile service providers in terms of capital and operational expenditure, growing technological advancements in optical communications and wireless technologies. The C-RAN technology acts as the low-cost transmission module for the data transmission between Remote Radio Head and Base Band Unit. Moreover, the introduction of real-time virtualization technology consents dynamic resource allocation and supports multi-vendor environments.
Market Segmentation
Insight by Architecture Type
On the basis of architecture type, the cloud radio access network (C-RAN) market is segmented into centralized-RAN and cloud/virtualized RAN. Owing to the technological advancements in wireless, optical, and other communication systems, centralized-RAN architecture maintains the dominant position. However, the cloud or virtualized RAN is expected to grow at a faster pace considering the increase in adoption of software-defined networking (SDN) technology and network function virtualization (NFV) technology by the telecommunication industry. Moreover, NFV technology is expected to be the prominent solution to boosting bandwidth requirements for 5G carriers. The utilization of SDN technology further boosts the signaling between cells and also optimizes the resources for the betterment of end user experience.
