What have been the primary factors driving the radio access network market’s growth?
The increasing mobile data traffic is expected to propel the growth of the radio access network market going forward. Mobile data traffic refers to transmitting digital information over cellular networks, typically including internet browsing, app usage, and media streaming accessed via mobile devices. Mobile data traffic is increasing due to the proliferation of smartphones, the growing popularity of data-intensive applications, and the expanding availability of high-speed mobile networks. Radio access networks aid in growing mobile data traffic by providing infrastructure enhancements, such as advanced antennas and base stations, to support faster data speeds and expanded network coverage, thereby accommodating the growing demand for data-intensive applications and services. For instance, according to the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association, a US-based non-profit organization, U.S. cellular networks handled 73 trillion megabytes (MB) of data traffic in 2022, 38% more than the previous year. Therefore, the increasing mobile data traffic is driving the growth of the radio access network market.
