Global Wireless Testing Market Dynamics

Drivers: Increase in usage of smart devices

Smart technology & connectivity are the major drivers of smart devices, which enhances the requirement of product safety. Growth in the adoption of smart devices in emerging countries help create opportunities for various technologies. Furthermore, an increase in the population and growing Internet saturation are some of the key factors driving the demand for smartphones and smart devices, which may help drive the market growth for wireless testing services. The advanced features appeal to the attention of smart devices, which also help drive the market growth. In addition, the adoption of smartphones and smart devices has an enormous impact on the wireless testing industry. The beginning of 5G technology has already redefined the device testing landscape, and cutting-edge telecom companies have shifted from turnkey testing to a system-level approach.

Restraints: Lack of skilled workforce and high cost

The cost of Wi-Fi networks goes far afar their purchasing price, which is the amount paid for hardware and software at installation. According to Gartner, 80% of total IT costs occur after the initial purchase. Wi-Fi networking considers the purchase costs and other costs that arise over the lifespan of the units, even the intangible ones. The antennas for a leading 4G enabled smartphone typically cost is high. With the adoption of 5G technology, businesses can expect significant increases in component costs in the coming year, which would hamper the growth of the wireless testing market. The lack of a skilled workforce would restrain the market growth for wireless testing.
