Communication Test Equipment Market Analysis
Communication test equipment (CTE) market is expected to register a CAGR of 6.7 over the forecast period(2021 - 2026).
- The growing volumes of data is one of the significant factors contributing to the growth of the CTE market. This is evident the mobile data traffic per smartphone per month expected to grow at a CAGR of 14% from 6.8 GB (gigabyte) in 2018 to 15 GB in 2024 according to Ericcson.
- Through extensive research and development, the players in the industry have been able to further the technology. These developments are expected to contribute to the growth of the market over the forecast period.
- For instance, GW Instek introduced its C-1200 Multi-Channel LoRa Tester for Transmitter and Receiver Tests. In terms of LoRa Transmitter, C-1200 provides tests including spectrum analysis, time domain, FEI (Frequency Error Indicator), and TOA (Time-On-Air) while LoRa Receiver, tests provide PER (Packet Error Rate), sensitivity, and. BER (Bit Error Rate).
- The increasing investments in the aerospace and defense systems by the governments and the related regulated authorities to provide support and upgrades for the pre-existing equipment and machinery is expected to provide a boost to the CTE market over the forecast period.
- In September 2019, According to the Pentagon Huntington Ingalls Industries was awarded a USD 30.8 million contract to provide modernization and procurement of material, equipment, spares, repair parts, and test equipment for operational nuclear-powered aircraft carriers; command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance upgrades amongst others.
Communication Test Equipment Market Trends
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Communication Test Equipment Market according to our research experts:
Telecommunications is Expected to witness a Significant Growth
- The increasing initiatives by the government and the related regulatory bodies in order to beef up preparedness for the upcoming technologies and security that allow them to provide a better experience is expected to fuel the CTE market growth over the forecast period.
- For instance, The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) has demanded mandatory testing and certification from the local authorized agencies for telecom equipment imported or sold in India.
- 5G is expected to unleash a massive IoT ecosystem that would allow networks to serve for billions of connected devices making it essential for the providers to have CTEs that would enable them to provide smooth and uninterrupted connectivity. According to Ericsson's Mobility Report of June 2019, More than 10 million 5G subscriptions are projected worldwide by the end of 2019. This in itself is indicative of the fact that there lies a lucrative opportunity for the communications test equipment providers which could boost the market over the forecast period.
North America is Expected to Hold Significant Share
- North America is expected to dominate the market over the forecast period, owing to the presence of some major players in the region such as Texas Instruments Incorporated, Exfo Inc. amongst others.others coupled with the extensive research and development activities that have resulted in the wide-scale adoption of the communication test equipment market in the region.
- The government is increasingly investing in the aerospace and defense sector to upgrade the pre-existing infrastructure that allows them to gain an edge over the potential threats and allows them to be ready for the future.
- For instance, in September 2019, KBR announced that it was awarded two contract modifications totaling almost USD 40 million to upgrade remote tracking stations in the Air Force Satellite Control Network (AFSCN). This is expected to boost the adoption of the CTE market over the forecast period.
- Also, the region is one of the pioneers in the roll out of 5G is expected to witness a surge in the 5G subscriptions over the forecast period thereby propelling the vendors in the 5G market to possess communication test equipment that allows them to better serve their consumers.
- According to the Ericcson's Mobility Report of June 2019, the region is expected to hold close to 270 million 5G subscriptions accounting for more than 60 percent of mobile subscriptions.
