The mass deployment of 3G networks has accelerated the adoption of smart
devices, conditioning users to access wireless data services on a daily basis.
The growing strain on current 3G networks has driven operators to start
deploying 4G networks in order to cope with future demand. As a result, LTE
has emerged as the prime candidate for 4G networks, prompting mass commitment
and adoption on a global level.
The number of LTE subscribers is set for dynamic growth in the next five
years, as operators build and trial LTE in order to cope with the massive
amounts of data traffic which is steadily increasing on their networks. The
successful launch of a number of LTE networks in the US, Asia and Europe is
driving ever greater adoption of 4G services. Visiongain calculates that there
will be 27.9 million 4G LTE handsets shipped globally in 2012.
Furthermore, governments worldwide have held 4G spectrum auctions or are
planning to in the coming years, and many Tier 1 mobile operators are
building, trialling and deploying commercial LTE services. LTE offers immense
scope for the growth of the mobile value chain. The LTE ecosystem appears to
be healthy and thriving. Visiongain believes that this will drive the growth
of the LTE handset market over the next five years.
Markets in North America and Asia Pacific will experience the strongest
growth, with Europe close behind. Middle Eastern nations will also show signs
of a dynamic LTE market, as their governments are keen to roll-out the latest
and fastest cellular networks. 4G LTE handset growth in the rest of the world,
such as in Latin American and Africa, will be much less significant, despite a
favourable growth rate. The increased adoption of broadband networks and the
decreasing prices of smart devices will eventually change the situation in the
long term.
