DAS Market Dynamics
Driver: Rising demand for enhanced network coverage and need to eliminate connectivity gaps in buildings
Mobile device users expect a seamless network for continued connectivity at every location, including stadiums, theaters, malls, railway stations, and airports. Large cell sites and cellular antenna towers deliver wireless reception and transmission across long distances, but dead spots often exist in clusters of buildings or within individual buildings. With their increasing dependence on connectivity, end users cannot afford to have in-building dead zones. DAS alleviate this issue by providing reliable coverage throughout the building.
Although macro cell sites and antennas installed by telecom operators cover most of the venues mentioned above, their coverage is very weak and capacity is low. HetNet solutions, such as small cells, can expand the coverage of mobile networks. However, the deployment process of new cell sites is challenging and costly for mobile operators, and, thus, many operators now prefer DAS to provide seamless connectivity to customers. In addition, DAS aids in ensuring constant communication for end users and emergency responders inside buildings. Also, modern construction processes for many enterprise buildings involve techniques and materials that block wireless communication signal penetration or degrade the quality of received signals. DAS are designed to extend wireless coverage within structures and enable radios and mobile phones to work regardless of their position within the building.
Restraint: Routing backhauling issue associated with DAS networks
The backhaul radio provides a high level of flexibility, as it is claimed that network operators can deploy their DAS anywhere. Although routing backhaul is a problem associated with both DAS and small cell networks, DAS is typically more problematic as each radio head used to broadcast the cellular signal requires routed fiber-optic cables, making the installation process troublesome.
This process can potentially create issues with cable management, as keeping the fiber-optic lines out of sight requires the cables to be carefully routed through the walls and other important structures of the facility. If this process is not conducted correctly, the routing of these cables can adversely affect the facility’s structural integrity, making it unsafe and unfit for visiting patrons.
Opportunities: Increase in commercial spaces across Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN)
The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) has witnessed a tremendous increase in the number of commercial spaces over the last few years, driven by rapid urbanization and rising middle-class income levels. This also led to the growth in demand for wireless connectivity services in various places such as office and residential buildings, metro stations, subways, airports, and stadiums. According to the World Economic Forum, major Southeast Asian countries, such as Vietnam, Myanmar, and Thailand, have emerged as a low-cost alternative to China for living.
Additionally, the economic growth of the ASEAN region is expected to be beneficial for Singapore as global firms seek to establish their presence in Southeast Asia, with many selecting the country as their regional headquarters. These factors are expected to fuel the requirement for in-building and outdoor wireless services, which would be offered through the deployment of DAS at various sites.
Challenges: Upgradeability issues of existing DAS networks
DAS networks have upgradeability issues when it comes to network advancement. As most carriers are now upgrading to the 5G network, it is more difficult to upgrade an existing DAS network than the upgrade of a comparable small cell network. Typically, small cell networks can be upgraded over the air (OTA) without the need for a technician to visit the cell site. DAS network upgrades, however, may require the replacement of hardware, i.e., base station replacement, making the upgrade process more costly and time-consuming.
Commercial Vertical to acquire significant share in DAS market
The commercial vertical is expected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period. DAS deployments are mainly concentrated in the commercial vertical; this vertical accounted for 87.1% share of the overall market in 2022. Different commercial spaces such as public venues, healthcare organizations, enterprises, and educational institutions are witnessing a high demand for DAS due to the increased mobile data traffic and the number of IoT devices. According to a report published by Ericsson Mobility in 2022, the total mobile data traffic for all devices is expected to increase by four times during the forecast period, reaching ~453 exabytes (EB) per month by 2028.
Service offering to command largest share in DAS market
The service segment accounted for the largest market share in 2022. It is further expected to dominate the market during the forecast period, growing at a higher CAGR between 2023 and 2028. Installation services contribute significantly to the overall growth of the DAS market. Both DAS manufacturers and DAS integrators offer installation services. Major installation services include equipment ordering; cable installation; equipment pre-staging and configuration; installation of the head-end and remote equipment; and coordination with wireless service providers for design approval, rebroadcast agreements, and commissioning (system activation).
DAS market to witness highest demand from Asia Pacific
China held the largest share of the DAS market in Asia Pacific for services and components in 2022 and is projected to dominate both markets during the forecast period. Telecom operators and internet providers such as Tencent (China), Baidu (China), and Alibaba (China) continue with various developments in 5G networks in China. The 4G network is still thriving in the Chinese market, and the country, with the world's largest population, had an internet usage rate of 65.2% (912 million) of the total population of 1.4 billion as of January 2021 (DataReportal). As of January 2021, China's mobile web traffic accounted for 61.6% of the total web traffic. With the increasing data traffic, the demand for DAS in China is expected to increase during the forecast period.
The integration of IoT and 5G will help enterprises to manage and scale their IoT businesses from a unified platform. With unprecedented speed and flexibility, 5G transports more data than before, with greater responsiveness and reliability. 5G speeds up cloud services, while AI analyzes and learns from the same data more quickly. AI is required for a fully operational and efficient 5G network. The use of 5G networks allows for the integration of machine learning and AI at the network edge. 5G allows multiple IoT devices to connect at the same time, generating massive amounts of data that must be processed using machine learning and AI. In May 2022, Tencent, the Chinese technology giant, announced an investment of USD 69.9 billion over the next five years in areas ranging from cloud computing to artificial intelligence. It would also back China's push for "new infrastructure," a term used by Beijing to refer to technology areas such as artificial intelligence, next-generation mobile networks of 5G, and transportation infrastructure such as electric cars.
