Subj : Open RAN market share set to fall To : All From : TechnologyDaily Date : Fri Jul 21 2023 12:45:03 Open RAN market share set to fall Date: Fri, 21 Jul 2023 11:27:06 +0000 Description: Newer forecasts are not as hopeful as some of the earlier ones were. FULL STORY ====================================================================== By 2027, the global Open RAN market share wont be as large as previously thought, according to forecasts from the DellOro Group, which recently released its predictions for the technology, noting it expects the field to perform somewhat poorer compared to what its peers were saying. The news marks the first time DellOro Group has reported a somewhat grimmer outlook, since tracking the technology in the first place. It still forecasts Open RAN to make up between 15% and 20% of all global RAN by that time, though - as while previous forecasts set it between 6% and 10% of the total RAN market, new figures are placing it in mid-single digit share. Callibration or a change in growth trajectory? That being said, the researchers expect cumulative revenues to drop by anywhere between 5% and 10% throughout the forecast period. Commenting on the report, Telecoms.com reminds that less than a year ago, DellOro said Open RAN was growing and could take up 15% of the total RAN market by 2026, with some $20 billion in the forecast period. We can think of this revision more as a near-term calibration than a change in the long-term growth trajectory said Stefan Pongratz, Vice President and Analyst at the DellOro Group. Even so, our long-term position has not changed. We continue to believe that Open RAN is here to stay, and the growing support by the incumbent suppliers bolsters this thesis.

However, as prominent greenfield operator examples did not meet expectations, many Open RAN players hoped brownfield operators would make a bigger splash in the industry. However, very few players achieved any significant product swaps, Telecoms adds, further stating that it doesnt look like there are many progressing at a pace that would accelerate Open RAN maturity among brownfield operators.
