This report provides forecasts for addressable revenue for vendors in the radio access network (RAN) sector for 2020–2028. The RAN market is in a state of considerable flux, driven by 5G and the start of the migration to standalone and virtualised architectures, as well as massive MIMO. All these changes will create revenue growth opportunities for the ecosystem, but will also require new approaches to deployment, integration and services.

    • two network types: 5G and non-5G
    • four product types: antennas, basebands, xNFs and cloud infrastructure
    • two delivery types: product and professional services (PS)
    • eight geographical regions: Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), developed Asia–Pacific (DVAP), emerging Asia–Pacific (EMAP), Latin America (LATAM), the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), North America (NA), Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and Western Europe (WE)
