It is expected to expand at a CAGR of 6.2% from 2023 to 2030. Increased spending on next-generation wireless communication infrastructures due to the shift in customer preferences toward the 5G network and cloud-based technology is primarily driving the demand for telecom services. Furthermore, soaring demand for high-speed data connectivity, the rapid spread of digitalization worldwide, and the explosion of consumer-generated multimedia content via Over-The-Top (OTT) applications are some of the other key factors that are expected to significantly contribute to the industry growth.
With the plurality of telecom services, networks, and providers, the sector has emerged as one of the acute components essential for global socio-economic development. The rapid adoption of smartphone devices is another dynamic that has majorly contributed to the growth of the global telecom industry and has manifested in the businesses of telecom companies. The migration of cellular devices from feature phones to 5G-enabled smartphones has generated a massive demand for high bandwidth connectivity, improved voice services, and other value-added services, thereby fueling the market growth over the forecast period.
Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) and Software-Defined Networking (SDN) are the telecom network architectures that provide wider and improved connectivity at reduced infrastructure costs. These architectures based on network abstraction processes are envisioned to transform the global communication industry over the coming years. While NFV allows network slicing to offer customized solutions to varied industries, SDN enables the communication service providers to work in partnership with a broader ecosystem. These services are anticipated to offer efficient network connectivity and support the new era of 5G networks.
The outbreak of COVID-19 has compelled governments worldwide to announce national lockdowns in the initial days. The in-home isolation of the worldwide population has given a pathway to digital entertainment platforms. The growing demand for video streaming services on applications, such as Netflix, YouTube, and Amazon, has raised the usage of data services. Additionally, the shutdown of several businesses across the globe, coupled with a significant impact on the global economy, has hampered the overall market growth in 2020. However, with the significant investments made by federal governments across key countries, such as the U.S., China, India, the U.K., and Germany, to bring their economies’ growth on track, the market is expected to witness considerable growth from 2023 to 2030.
