The Distributed Antenna System (DAS) Market is projected to grow from $9.7 billion in 2023 to $13 billion by 2028, registering a CAGR of 6.2 percent during the forecast period, according to a new report by MarketsandMarkets. The market growth is attributed to the growing focus on enhancing spectrum efficiency, growing need for strong and reliable cellular connectivity for Internet of Things (IoT), and rising demand for enhanced network coverage and need to eliminate connectivity gaps in buildings. Furthermore, use of DAS technology in Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) is expected to create lucrative opportunities for the market.
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).
According to the report, the outdoor coverage segment is expected to grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast period. With increasing automation and the adoption of wireless connectivity technologies in the automotive, transportation, and industrial verticals, the need for outdoor DAS (oDAS) is also growing. The increasing preference cited by the study for oDAS installation as compared to that for base stations is due to the relatively less expensive process of installation.
Over the forecast period, the MarketsandMarkets study showed, North America is anticipated to have the largest DAS market. The region’s DAS market is anticipated to increase as a result of the rising number of internet subscribers, rising mobile data traffic, and increasing focus by government agencies on improving telecommunications infrastructure to meet consumer demand for seamless connectivity.
The region is also expected to be the early adopter of 5G services in areas such as AR/VR, autonomous driving, and artificial intelligence, owing to high customer digital engagement. In addition to subscribers having many connected devices, increased automation across industries, increasing IoT adoption, increasing cellular M2M connections, and soaring demand for on-demand video services will all contribute to the region’s DAS market growth.
