ABI: Mobile Packet Data Core n/w infra market to reach $1.8B in 2013

ABI Research estimates the Mobile Packet Data Core Network infrastructure market will reach $1.8B in 2013. “Continued growth in 3G and 4G traffic will propel the Mobile Packet Core Infrastructure to a cumulative $10B market over the next five years,” stated Joe Hoffman, principal analyst.

ABI shared below additional market findings on this market:
The overall mobile core network equipment market declined 12% in Q1 2013 from the rather moribund Q4 2012. Reflecting increased data demand, the packet data core market continues to expand and is up 22% over Q4 2012, and up 30% over the Trailing Twelve Months. In North America the hugely popular success of LTE is rapidly supplanting 2G and 3G traffic and eliminating capacity expansion needs for those technologies. Other parts of the world exhibit similar conditions, with packet core network equipment most in demand.

Market share includes the totality of a vendor’s core network business, giving an overall market strength, and much of today’s core network equipment supports 2G, 3G and 4G with only a software change. Huawei gained a few points of market share relative to the rest of the industry in Q1 2013.

“Ericsson remains the leader in overall core network market share,” added Hoffman, “and while they retain that position, there will be increasing pressure from Huawei and others as the market trends to 4G.”
