Femtocell Market Dynamics

The market is driven by the rising number of broadband connections with a surge in internet connectivity due to the growing number of internet users around the globe. The fixed broadband connections in residential as well as in small businesses have been increased due to an increase in disposable income and a surge in information telecommunications platforms around the globe. According to the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) in 2018, fixed-broadband connections have been reached around 1.1 billion whereas fixed telephone connections have been reached 942 million. Thus the femtocell has significant use for better communication systems in the residential small, medium enterprises across the globe.

There is a rise in digital technology adoption using the next-generation advanced telecommunications deployment like 4G and 5G for better internet connectivity have created a huge demand for this market. For instance, on 19th Feb 2019, IP.access Company had been launched a new 5G ready multi-technology module designed with fully managed, flexible cellular software and interfaces for 4G and 3G respectively.

Femtocell Market Segmentation Analysis

The global femtocell market is segmented based on type, applications, and region.

In terms of type, the global femtocell market is bifurcated into 2G femtocells, 3G & 4G femtocells, and 5G femtocells. Among these, 3G & 4G femtocell segment has the highest market share in 2019 owing to the increasing launching and deployment of advanced technology 3G and 4G femtocell for better connectivity. For instance, on 26th July 2019, Globe Telecom the leading Filipino mobile network operator (MNO) had been planned to deploy 10000 femtocells units with the collaboration IP.access the UK-based telecommunications equipment firm to carry out a nationwide femtocell deployment. The deployment program had been aimed at boosting network connectivity inside homes and small businesses with the deployment of 3G residential and enterprise 4G/LTE femtocells.

Similarly, the 2G femtocells and 5G femtocells segment is also growing with the deployment of the 5G networks and the launching of new connectivity products during the forecast period. For instance, on 13th Sep 2018, Samsung has collaborated with Verizon’s 5G Home End-to-End Solutions. This has been enhanced Verizon’s 5G Broadband Internet Service and Samsung’s 5G Technology for the compact 5G Radio, 5G home/outdoor router, and virtualized radio solutions.

Depending upon the technology, the global femtocell market is classified into IU-H Femtocell Technology and IMS/SIP Femtocell Technology. Among these, the IMS/SIP Femtocell Technology has the highest market share in 2019 owing to an increase in the adoption of mobile network users around the globe. This system allows for independently controlling communications from Femtocells and helps to connect system transmission load across the entire mobile networks. According to the Global System for Mobile Communications Organization in 2018, there were around 3.5 billion mobile internet subscribers around the globe. This propels the demand for the IMS/SIP Femtocell Technology.

Similarly, this IU-H Femtocell Technology is also growing at a faster pace owing to an increase in applications for the Home NodeB, RANAP User Adaptation (RUA) , Protocol Implementation, and “plug-and-play” solutions.

Depending upon the applications, the global femtocell market is divided into consumers, residential, commercial, public space, and others. The commercial segment has the highest market share owing to raising the adoption of femtocells in small and medium-scale enterprises including malls, hotels, restaurants, small offices coffee shops, etc due to an increase in the number of mobile users. According to the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) in 2018, the mobile industry has contributed around USD 3.6 trillion that is equivalent to 4.5% of the global GDP.

Similarly, consumers, residential, public space segments are also growing at a faster pace owing to a rising number of internet users around the globe with a surge in the government investment for internet connectivity in public places like schools, libraries railway stations, bus stands, etc.

Global Femtocell Market Geographical Share

By region, the global Femtocell market is segmented into North America, South America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle-East, and Africa. Among all of the regions, North America is the dominant region for the global femtocell market and is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecasted period due to the presence of leading players with growing internet connectivity adoption at residential followed by the Europe region. According to the ITU estimation in the United States, internet access is increasing penetration in households and is growing at 8.9% annually.  This propels the demand for femtocells for household internet connectivity.

The Asia Pacific is also growing at a faster pace for the femtocell market, owing to rising the number of internet users with rising consumer spending with a surge in population in this region. According to the ITU, 75% of the global population has internet connectivity resides in all developing countries that are of around 2.2 billion from India & China. Thus the internet users penetration in Africa and the Asia Pacific is around 24.4% and 47% respectively. This propels the demand for femtocells with a growing number of internet connections in this region.
