Global Carrier Aggregation Market Size, Trends, and Growth Opportunity, By Cell Type (Femtocell, Microcell, Metrocell, Picocell), By Application (Handheld Mobile Devices, Smart Grid, Others), Region and Forecast Till 2027
Global Carrier Aggregation Market
The Global Carrier Aggregation Market was valued at USD 3.25 Bn in 2021, estimated to reach USD 12.24 Bn in 2027, with a CAGR of 21.52%.
Carrier aggregation is a wireless communication technique that assigns several frequency blocks to a particular user to increase the data rate per single user. With the help of carrier aggregation technologies, mobile network operators can combine two or more data carriers operating in the same or separate frequency bands to send data between base stations and mobile devices over a single channel. Spectral efficiency, data capacity, and backward compatibility are all improved by carrier aggregation technologies.
Market Drivers
One of the key factors driving the growth of the carrier aggregation solutions market is the rising global data traffic. Due to the rising data-capable gadgets and high-bandwidth applications, mobile data traffic is expanding exponentially.
Market trends suggest that more than 2/3rd of the global population will gain access to the internet during the forecast period. Moreover, the forecast period will also witness the number of IP-connected devices reaching over 30 million. In a bid to address the service issues to customers due to such high bandwidth demand, companies will drive the carrier aggregation solutions market by deploying carrier aggregation technologies at the base stations.
The carrier aggregation market is also being driven by the growing investment in the long-term evolution (LTE) infrastructure and the widespread use of LTE services for commercial and residential purposes globally.
Market Restraints
Interoperability is one of the major impediments to the growth of the global carrier aggregation solutions market. The seamless interchange of information between various software & systems is referred to as interoperability. As carrier aggregation uses the LTE-A spectrum, its adoption necessitates a separate sideband & supporting software. One company's equipment cannot be compatible with that of the other.
Market Segmentation
The global carrier aggregation market is segmented into cell types such as a femtocell, microcell, metrocell, and picocell. further, the market is segmented by applications such as handheld mobile devices, smart grids, and others.
Regional Analysis
The global carrier aggregation market is divided into North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Middle East and Africa.
The APAC region will contribute the most toward the growth and will dominate the carrier aggregation market. The increasing use of 4G and the rising investments in installing 5G are causing the APAC region to lead the market growth.
The North American region is also expected to contribute significantly to the growth of the carrier aggregation market due to the adoption of advanced technologies.
Key Developments
In February 2023, T-Mobile US conducted a test using their 5G standalone (SA) network and four carrier channels of the spectrum, which resulted in network speeds of more than 3.3 Gb/s. For a total of 225 megahertz of spectrum, two carrier channels of 2.5 GHz spectrum and two carrier channels of 1.9 GHz spectrum were integrated.
In March 2023, the New Snapdragon X75 from Qualcomm is the most cutting-edge modem in the world and the best-in-class 5G technology. Since they come with transceivers, mmWave modules, and an RF front end, the company refers to its modems as "modem to RF" systems. The Snapdragon X75 introduces 10CC carrier aggregation for mmWave, 5CC carrier aggregation for sub-7-gigahertz bands as well as uplink MIMO.
