Top impacting factors
Numerous factors such as less power consumption and low cost of femtocell as well as increase in need for wireless networks for business due to shifting business toward digitization boost the market growth. Moreover, increase in the penetration of smart phone and wearable devices drives the market growth globally. However, availability of substitutes such as 5G small cell and portable Wi-Fi device may hinder the growth of the market globally. Furthermore, increase in demand for 5G network and low latency high speed internet is anticipated to create lucrative femtocell market opportunity.
Increase in need for wireless networks among businesses due to major shift toward digitization
Increase in need for high-speed wireless network is an integral part of installing femtocell, which ensures massively increased data rates, from megabits per second (Mbps) to gigabits per second (Gbps), and ultra-reliable lower latency, from tens of milliseconds to milliseconds. As well as it is low powered device. Successful femtocell implementation is majorly dependent on network densification, which is increasing available network capacity by adding more femtocells. Femtocell also competes with public 4G and 5G cellular networks. However, it can be the better choice when large amounts of data are transferred that stress the public network in a given area. The cost of high data-transfer volume can also be prohibitive in femtocell. Femtocell can be deployed anywhere, including areas beyond the reach of public carriers, as it provides secure network and femtocell can be optimized to handle traffic types with specific requirements. For example, real-time industrial automation applications can be guaranteed extremely low latency for immediate response. Furthermore, the penetration of digital services such as autonomous cars and remote surgeries, industrial automation has been witnessed to increase significantly, which, in turn, boosts the demand for stronger connectivity and faster speed. Thus, driving the growth during the femtocell market forecast period.
