Europe Open RAN Market Insights

Europe Open RAN market was estimated to be USD 92.64 million in 2021 and is forecasted to grow at a CAGR of 80.36% during the forecast period of, 2022 – 2028. The key factor driving the market’s growth is the growing use of the 5G network. The fifth generation of a telecommunication system (5G) is a new global wireless standard. It offers much greater data capacity and transmission speeds compared to the 3G and 4G networks. In addition, there were 22 billion connected devices in use worldwide in 2018. This figure is forecast to increase to around 50 billion by 2030, creating a web of interconnected devices ranging from smartphones to kitchen appliances.

Open RAN is a wireless network architecture that enables flexibility and agility to service providers in deploying 5G. A typical traditional RAN has been using a proprietary interface between the radio and baseband units, this means the service provider is locked into that particular baseband unit and radio vendor.

Whereas no well-defined testing methodologies or standards to guarantee performance and interoperability of software and hardware products from different vendors can be considered as a restraining factor for the market growth.

COVID-19 Analysis of Europe Open RAN Market

O-RAN market had a direct impact caused by the semiconductor industry owing to a shortage of semiconductors and chip manufacturing facilities. Semiconductors and chips being imported from markets of China and Taiwan were closed due to rising cases of Covid-19 thus resulting in a meltdown of this sector. Since 80% of semiconductor foundries and assembly operations are concentrated in Asia it is anticipated to hold 60% market share in the global market.

It is estimated that during the first wave of Covid-19, digital adoption has raised from 81% to a massive 95% in the EU124 nations.  However, the digital sector experienced a negative impact from the pandemic, in particular during the first wave. Supply chains have been disrupted and slowed down or stopped production in many countries. In addition to hampered supply, a fall in demand hit the manufacturing part of the sector’s supply chains (for instance, demand for hardware). However, due to the need for telework, the demand for digital infrastructure has increased substantially.

Post-Covid-19 supply-chain diversity and competition to improve network security through greater interoperability and disaggregation has increased the Open RAN demand. In addition, a coordinated approach to standardizing open interfaces for the 5G network with a schedule that supports the formation of a European Open RAN ecosystem is estimated to show a prosperous market growth during the forecast period.

Europe Open RAN Market Segmental Analysis

Market Research Community provides an extensive analysis of the size, share, and major trends in each sub-segment of the Europe Open RAN Market, along with forecasts for Europe, regional, and country-level from 2022 to 2028.

Software and Services accounted for the largest market share in Europe Open RAN market

Software and Services Open RANs segment accounted for 57.81% share of the Europe Open RANs market in 2021 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 80.9% during the forecast period, 2022-2028. It includes the servers and open software frameworks that have been optimized for the RAN. ORAN operators can decouple vendors by smooth migration to a cloud-native model. Key functionality is provided by containerized Network Functions software that runs on a virtually Consumer Off the Shelf server.

For instance, Dell Technologies introduced innovative telecom solutions, and services to assist communications service providers to accelerate their cloud-native network deployments and create new opportunities at the edge. Services will play a significant role in the Open RAN value chain to test and integrate multiple vendors’ solutions.

The key factor that is anticipated to drive the market is the surge in technological innovation. In traditional RAN, integration is done by the RAN vendor but in Open RAN, the role of the neutral systems integrator will be enhanced. An important factor in ensuring that software and hardware from suppliers can work together is testing for interoperability and performance before deployment. In Open RAN, the software is disaggregated from hardware, allowing software to run on hardware from any supplier. Different RAN software modules can be supported by different developers working together in an integrated way.

5G is the fastest growing segment in Europe Open RAN market

ORAN technology allows service providers to speed up 5G network development. ORAN streamlined 5G ORAN performance through the common attributes of versatility, efficiency, and intelligence. ORAN deployed at the network will benefit 5G applications and enable secure and over-the-air firmware upgrades. To cater to a fast-growing variety of use cases and applications, network operators will deploy flexible networks with advanced features and services quickly and cost-efficiently.

This need to enable faster innovation can be achieved with a modular, interoperable, and open network architecture that allows many suppliers to innovate and compete. Introducing interoperability and openness in the Open RAN accelerates development and drives innovation across the mobile network value chain.

Urban Accounted for the Largest Market Share in Europe Open RAN market

Open RAN is the most challenging in rural locations; however, it is ready in urban markets. Vodafone has targeted urban areas for the deployment of Open RAN. Deploying ORAN in villages will be complex because it requires government and operator support to improve efficiency and functionality. The growth of ORAN in urban will be at a rapid pace because the urban ecosystem is establishing rapidly growing in the last years from hardware, MNOs, vendors, governments, regulators, software, and system integrators in the world.
