Huawei and ZTE Nearly Half of the Market
REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Aug. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- According to a recently published report from Dell'Oro Group, the trusted source for market information about the telecommunications, security, networks, and data center industries, preliminary findings reveal that the Radio Access Network (RAN) market conditions remain challenging, with global RAN revenues declining at a double-digit rate year-over-year for a fourth consecutive quarter. At the same time, pockets of the market are performing better, with three out of the six tracked regions growing, up from one region in 1Q 2024.
"Even if the RAN market is still down at a double-digit rate in the first half, the second quarter offered some glimmer of hope that the nadir of this cycle with double-digit declines might now be in the past for the time being," said Stefan Pongratz, Vice President and analyst at the Dell'Oro Group. "This does not change the fact that the RAN market is expected to decline at a 2 percent CAGR over the next five years. But the pace of the decline should moderate somewhat going forward," continued Pongratz.
Additional highlights from the 2Q 2024 RAN report:
- Total RAN revenues were mostly in line with expectations.
- Strong growth in North America and stable trends in China were not enough to offset steep declines in the Asia Pacific region, partly driven by sharp drops in India.
- Vendor rankings are mostly unchanged. The top 5 RAN suppliers based on worldwide revenues are Huawei, Ericsson, Nokia, ZTE, and Samsung.
- Relative to 2023, Huawei's 1H 2024 revenue share is up, ZTE is stable, and Nokia/Ericsson are together down 3 to 4 percentage points.
- Short-term RAN projections are mostly unchanged since the 5-year forecast update. Global RAN is expected to decline 8 percent to 12 percent outside of China.
