Market Trends of Global VoLTE Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the VoLTE Market according to our research experts:
Increasing Demand for High-Speed Internet is Driving the Voice Over LTE (VoLTE) Market
- According to Cisco Systems, In comparison to 2019, the average speed increased by over 40% to 50.8 Mbps in 2020. It is projected to reach 58.9 Mbps in 2021, up another 16% from 2020. Voice over LTE (VoLTE) is a digital packet technology that routes voice traffic and transmits data across 4G LTE networks. This voice service is the industry standard for high-speed wireless communications in gadgets like smartphones, data terminals, Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and wearables.
- In June 2022, The Biden administration announced Thursday that it would allocate more than USD 400 million in loans and grants to promote high-speed internet initiatives for rural regions. The cash is anticipated to benefit around 31,000 individuals and companies across 11 states. Such initiatives by the government will drive the studied market.
- Further, in June 2022, The prime minister of India suggested the rest of the world invest in India and take advantage of the potential in the digital and technology sectors by stating that the government is trying to bring high-speed internet to every community. They referred to the current era as one of technology. They emphasized the advantages of technology as seen during the epidemic, saying it is crucial to make even more investments in innovation and technology.
- 5G, characterized as Enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB), is expected to improve mobile internet users' higher speeds and experience in dense or high mobility environments. It will support high-bandwidth services such as Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and apps. 5G will enable Massive Machine-type Communications (mMTC) and will allow the connection of many connected devices, which comprise the Internet of Things (IoT).
- 5G connection is expected to add multiple layers of complexity to the spectrum due to the all-inclusive nature of services. Limited spectrum availability is a big challenge in the development of 5G. The bandwidths requirements of 5G mean a higher frequency spectrum would be fundamental in delivering high-speed, high-quality connectivity.

Asia-Pacific to Account for Significant Market Share
- The Asia-pacific region will have 370 million new mobile subscribers by 2025. According to Ericsson, it is estimated that in 2024, Asia-Pacific will continue to dominate in the number of Voice over LTE subscriptions. In Asia-Pacific, the number of subscriptions is 3480.08 million, with a second spot taken up by Europe, with the number of subscriptions being 949.81 million.
- Further, the mobile industry as a whole contributes an extensive amount to economic and social development, generating 5.3% of GDP in 2018, and is expected to surpass 1.9 trillion US dollars by 2023 as countries increasingly benefit from the improvements in productivity and efficiency brought about by the increased take-up of mobile services.
- Further, many developed markets, such as South Korea, Japan, and Australia, are keen to be global leaders in 5G, with much about the potential of new innovative services and connected devices running on 5G networks. The rest of the region is more cautious. In many developing countries, 4G will still dominate the middle of the next decade, accounting for 70% of connections by 2025.
- According to the GSMA, almost 200 million new customers will be added by 2025, bringing the total number of subscribers to 1.8 billion (62% of the population). South Asia will account for a large portion of the growth, with India accounting for more than half of the new users by 2025. Over 333 million individuals in the region will use mobile internet for the first time by 2025, bringing the overall penetration rate to 52%.
- Also, Asia-Pacific has the highest number of VoLTE operators and subscribers. Mobile network providers such as Vodafone, Airtel, Reliance Jio, Digi, U Mobile, Yes 4G, and Dialog have ventured into VoLTE technology. They are investing in this technology to provide better service. These factors will drive the growth of this geographic segment in the coming years.
