The global deployment of base station analyzer is anticipated to constitute more than 200 (‘000) units in 2019 due to the IT and telecommunications sector’s ongoing need. According to a recently released research report that analyses the base station analyzer market, revenue in the about US$ 1 billion market is expected to increase by little over 5% annually over what it did in 2018.

Although the semiconductors & electronics vertical has the greatest potential for base station analyzer installation, the industry’s combined revenue share with the IT & telecoms vertical is expected to be greater than 55% in 2019.

The dramatic transformation of telecom industry, exceptional Internet reach, and rapid IoT penetration across industry verticals will reportedly continue to boost deployment of base station analysers in developing markets of China and India. Whereas, Japan is also cited as a highly lucrative investment pocket for base station analyser manufacturers, apart from Europe and North America.

VIAVI Solutions Inc. Launches First-ever 5G Base Station Analyser

The report underscores significance of 5G and other next-generation technologies that are currently in the limelight of strategic developments of key companies operating in base station analysers market. Leading manufacturers offering high performance base station analysers to support already in-operation WiMAX, 2G, 3G, and 4G networks, are currently shifting their focus on developing base station analysers with optimum operability for the upcoming 5G connectivity.

Escalating installation of wireless technology infrastructure is cited as the most prominent factor propelling base station analyser demand worldwide. VIAVI Solutions Inc., one of the market leaders, recently unveiled the industry’s first ‘true’ 5G base station analyser that caters to the demands of 5G NR and 5G TF standards. Claimed to possess the capability of validation and troubleshooting of 5G radio access, the CellAdvisor 5G is all set to strengthen the company’s relationships with the Tier 1 customer companies – fueling more product innovation.

Impressively Positive Prospects for 5G Technology to Earn Lucrative Position for APAC

Rapid 5G technology penetration has been closely assisting the growth of Asian market in the base station analyser landscape. It is further strengthened by an increasing number of foreign direct investments across Asia Pacific, especially in China and India.

Growing criticality of high speed Internet connectivity, coupled with brisk adoption of advanced technologies across industries, is likely to provide a major push to Asia’s base station analyser demand in coming years.

The report emphasizes analysis of the pivotal role of government driven FDIs that have been creating lucrative business opportunities residing in developing Asian economies, for globally leading brands in the base station analyser marketplace.

Elevating Next-gen Technology Deployment Uplifts Developed Regional Markets

North America, the key market for base station analyser manufacturers, is projected to maintain an important position in the global landscape owing to strong governmental and regulatory support for 5G technology adoption. Looking at the pace of the expansion of next-generation technologies across North American region, it is more likely that the regional market for base station analyser would witness the emergence of a heap of 5G wireless applications in the near future.

While the US is reportedly the first-ever country to cater to large scale 5% wireless applications, research forecasts a healthy growth outlook for base station analyser market in the US. Europe on the other hand has already been deploying a slew of next-gen technologies in the wireless category and thus is likely to retain high potential business opportunities for base station analyser manufacturers, in coming years.

Shipments of Benchtop Base Station Analysers Facing Stiff Competition from Portables

Superior performance and endurance continue to enable benchtop base station analysers retain a winning market value share of around 40%, over their portable and handheld counterparts. Portable base station analysers are however slated to represent an attractive pool of opportunities.

While advanced functionality of benchtop base station analysers allows their deployment to remain higher than other counterparts, the report highlights their installation for RF testing and wireless applications as a significant factor impacting segmental growth. Witnessing rising popularity in the ICT industry, portable base station analysers are likely to witness growing demand – specifically from network engineers and RF test engineers.

Manufacturers to Maintain Focal Point on a Stronger Distribution Network

The deep-dive evaluation of the global competition landscape of base station analysers market points to a majority of prominent players in market eyeing the opportunities in expanding the global distribution network. Manufacturers are likely to nurture contractual partnerships with leading vendors, in an effort to firm up the foothold in marketplace.

The study covers some of the leading players competing in global base station analysers landscape, which include but are not limited to RF Industries, Keysight (Formerly Agilent), Anritsu, Tektronix, fieldSENSE, GW Instek, Rohde & Schwarz, Fluke Corporation, Rigol Technologies Inc., and CommScope.
