The distributed antenna system equipment and services market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 7.11% between 2015 and 2020. There is a growing demand for continuous coverage and connectivity inside buildings as people are using their personal devices such as smartphones and tablets to perform their work on a daily basis. The emergence of the ‘bring your own device’ (BYOD) trend in enterprises has also led to growth in the usage of mobile devices. This growth in the use of personal devices leads to a growth in the demand for mobile data.
According to Cisco, nearly 80% of the mobile data is generated indoors. Continuous wireless connectivity is essential for mobile devices to work. Nowadays, the buildings or venues are made of materials that do not allow RF signals to pass through, due to which there are many dead spots inside the buildings. To eliminate these dead spots and maintain continuous wireless connectivity, large numbers of DAS are being deployed inside large venues & buildings globally.
On the basis of coverage, the DAS market is divided into indoor DAS (iDAS) and outdoor DAS (oDAS). Indoor DAS accounts for a majority of the market segmented on the basis of coverage during the forecast period. Indoor DAS is further divided into active and passive DAS based on the type of cable used and the size of the venue where the system needs to be deployed. Active DAS are presumed to have a high market share and growth rate during the forecast period owing to their advantages such as easy upgradeability and high coverage.
The equipment market is divided on the basis of verticals into healthcare, hospitality, higher education, public venues, transportation, airports, industrial, and enterprises. The transportation and industrial sectors are expected to have high growth rates during the forecast period. The transportation sector is expected to have a growth rate of 8.77% between 2015 and 2020. The deployment of DAS in rail and road tunnels, railway stations, roadways, and on utility poles in streets is expected to the drive the DAS market in the transportation sector.
