The private LTE market size is expected to grow from USD 2.4 billion in 2018 to USD 4.5 billion by 2023, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 13% during the forecast period.
The need for unique and defined network qualities and the convergence of 5G and private LTE are the major factors driving the growth of the private LTE market. However, the challenge of spectrum fragmentation could restrain the market growth.
Managed services segment to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period
The managed service providers connect people across all business functions and regions, and provide them with relevant information related to intelligent design, operations, and maintenance, as well as, offer a higher quality of services. Managed services in the private LTE market outsource a complete network or a part of it on a proactive management basis to improve the network operations and reduce the organizational expenses.
As the private LTE market is in its initial phase, most of the vendors are not capable of providing a standalone solution and its associated services to the customers. This enforces them to manage few of the services from vendors who are expert in providing those to deliver the required services to the customers.
Americas to hold the largest market size, and APAC to grow at the highest rate during the forecast period
Americas is expected to have the highest share of the overall private LTE market. Americas holds a major portion in the adoption of private LTE in this region. Americas leads the LTE technology usage with around 94% penetration of 4G LTE connection.
US and Canada are at the forefront as these countries have sustainable and well-established economies, which empower them to strongly invest in R&D activities, thereby contributing to the development of new technologies. Network operators in this region consistently invest in expanding and upgrading their LTE and LTE-advanced networks.
Latin America primarily comprises countries such as Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, Chile, and Argentina. These countries have witnessed an extensive use of internet and mobile-based applications, and are expected to harness private LTE into their industrial and enterprise operations. In the Americas, the US is said to be leading the next generation of wireless technologies.
The US is the global leader of LTE and is expected to grow aggressively in this technology due to recent government initiatives. The US government has announced the availability of the Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) band or Band 48 for commercial usage.
Canada is another key country in this region which has been positive about the usage of private LTE technology in its business operations. Canada is rich in natural resources, which has prompted the growth of several large-scale mining and energy organizations. These business entities have been inclined toward implementing private LTE as a solution to establish critical communication for M2M and machine-to-human communications.
APAC constitutes of major economies, such as Singapore, South Korea, Japan, China, India, and Australia. Japan, China, and Australia are essential for the growth of the private LTE market in this region. Japan and China are one of the largest manufacturing economies that produce automobiles, information technology products, and electronic products. Manufacturing paradigm has changed considerably with industry-seeking advanced technologies, such as robotics and big data analytics.
The major vendors in the private LTE market are Nokia (Finland), Ericsson (Sweden), Huawei (China), NEC (Japan), Verizon (US), Cisco (US), Samsung (South Korea), Comba (China), Arris International (US), Sierra Wireless (Canada), NetNumber (US), Lemko (US), General Dynamics (US), Future Technologies (US), pdvWireless (US), Quortus (UK), Ambra Solutions (Canada), Zinwave (US), Redline Communications (Canada), Athonet (Italy), Mavenir (US), Star Solutions (Canada), Druid Software (Italy), Ursys (Australia), and Luminate Wireless (US).
