Mobile Experts Inc. has released its forecast for shipments and revenue, highlighting the significant shift in the mobile infrastructure market. As a leading analysis firm in the industry, Mobile Experts has accurately predicted all major changes in the sector since 2007.
Key Changes in Mobile Infrastructure
The new report reveals a transition in mobile infrastructure investment, moving from hardware to software, along with a reduction in traditional spending cycles for each mobile generation. The forecast for Macro and Massive MIMO Base Stations shows a decline in radio shipments until 2028, followed by a spike in 2029-2030 with unexpected features.
Despite the decrease in hardware shipments, the RAN Revenue and Market Share report indicates stagnation in overall revenue for the mobile infrastructure market. The difference lies in the growing importance of software upgrades, which will become the most profitable aspect of the sector.
Joe Madden, senior analyst at Mobile Experts, stated: “The days of automatic growth are over. Now, operators will need to adapt, offer customized solutions to enterprises, and manage capacity growth more precisely. We have mapped out the future through detailed analysis with operators and in-depth technical studies.”
