Over-the-Air (OTA) Testing Market

Over-the-air (OTA) Testing Market Outlook-2025

The global over-the-air testing Market size was valued at $1,513.0 million in 2017, and is projected to reach $3,093.9 million by 2025, growing at a CAGR of 9.4% from 2018 to 2025.

Over-the-air (OTA) testing measures system performance and antenna and receiver performance of numerous wireless devices, such as smartphones, tablets, laptops, wireless routers, and Internet of Things (IoT) devices. The OTA test is conducted to meet industry standards and facilitate evaluation of antenna and receiver performance. Moreover, the antenna and receiver performance is vital for efficient working of wireless devices. The OTA testing of wireless devices is mandated by many regulatory agencies, standard organizations, industrial bodies, and telecom carriers, because it is a requirement laid by the cellular telecommunications and internet association (CTIA); for instance, wireless service providers, such as Verizon, Sprint, AT&T, and others, require their suppliers to verify that wireless devices function seamlessly under various conditions. OTA testing plays a vital role in guaranteeing that each wireless device delivers an enhanced experience to users.

Increase in penetration of IoT and smart devices

The OTA is a mandatory test to get the cellular telecommunications and internet association (CTIA) certification. In addition, it is also a requirement for various carriers, vendors, and standard organizations to determine if wireless devices meet the applicable standards. Owing to increase in IoT and adoption of smart devices, the frequency of OTA testing is expected to increase, which would propel the OTA testing market growth. In addition, smart devices, such as fitness wearables, medical devices, and numerous mobile devices, connected with the help of cellular networks, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and other wireless devices have been fueling the market growth of OTA testing. Furthermore, testing for IoT and smart devices is increased, owing to emerging standards and numerous wireless technologies that are used to connect the devices. These factors altogether have been driving the growth of the OTA testing industry.

Growth of smart cities

The number of smart cities worldwide has been increasing at a rapid pace, which has been significantly increasing the number of wireless and smart connected devices. This is expected to result in the rise of OTA testing of wireless devices to meet the industry standards and facilitate assessment of antennas and receiver performance. The need for OTA testing is to check the reliability and accessibility of wireless devices. In addition, numerous associations, mainly cellular telecommunications and internet associations (CTIA), vendors, carriers, and standard organizations, have mandated the OTA testing for wireless devices. Thus, the growth in smart cities is anticipated to lead to the overall OTA testing market growth.
