RAN Analytics and Monitoring Market Size

RAN Analytics and Monitoring Market size was valued at USD 883.5 million in 2022 and is projected to register a CAGR of over 11.5% up to 2032. The growing IoT brings a massive influx of devices with varying data needs. RAN analytics & monitoring play a crucial role in managing and optimizing the connectivity of these devices, which often have different usage patterns compared to traditional smartphones. RAN monitoring can identify patterns in IoT device usage, helping operators allocate resources more efficiently and ensure that critical IoT applications (e.g., smart meters and industrial sensors) have the necessary network support.
 

Challenges such as latency, reliability, and signaling overhead in Radio Access Networks are propelling the industry gains. By utilizing advanced analytics and real-time monitoring solutions, operators can identify & rectify performance blocks swiftly. This proactive approach improves network efficiency, minimizes downtime, and enhances user experience.

The technical complexity of RAN analytics and monitoring networks is a challenge to their widespread infrastructure. The 5G service has intricate network architectures and technologies such as millimeter-wave frequencies & massive Multiple-Input, Multiple-Output (MIMO) systems. The setup, maintenance, and troubleshooting of these networks require specialized expertise, leading to higher operational costs. The need for skilled professionals and specialized equipment can potentially extend deployment timelines.
 

COVID-19 Impact

The COVID-19 pandemic had a positive impact on the RAN analytics and monitoring market. The increased reliance on digital communication and remote work highlighted the importance of robust network monitoring for maintaining connectivity. However, economic uncertainties led some operators to delay investments in new monitoring solutions. Overall, the pandemic emphasized the significance of network resilience and adaptability.
 

RAN Analytics and Monitoring Market Trends

Emerging high-speed 5G networks are significantly propelling the industry. High data rates, low latency, and network slicing capabilities of 5G networks require advanced monitoring to ensure optimal performance. The expansion of diverse applications including IoT and Augmented Reality (AR) demands real-time analytics for quality assurance. Additionally, the dynamic & virtual nature of 5G networks necessitates constant monitoring to identify and address issues swiftly.
 

RAN Analytics and Monitoring Market Analysis

Based on application, the RAN analytics and monitoring market is categorized into 5G, 4G, and 3G. The 5G segment held a market share of around 32% in 2022 and is expected to hold market share of around 37% by 2032. Partnerships to enhance 5G connectivity are creating lucrative progression opportunities for the 5G segment. For instance, in June 2023, Nokia and Virgin Media O2 extended their 5G RAN agreement to further enhance connectivity across the UK. This partnership involves the provisioning of RAN equipment sourced from Nokia's renowned AirScale portfolio. This move will maintain and build upon the longstanding collaboration between the two entities.
