Record Shipments despite Grafting Probe in China China demand slowing down
This report provides a comprehensive analysis for the global wireless base station transceiver market. In depth historical unit shipment data is provided for 2015 with a five year forecast from 2016-2020 also included. Detailed base station transceiver unit shipment data by OEM is provided for 2014 and 2015. Also included is a 5G forecast as well as Tx and Rx path analysis. This report covers air interface standards including GSM, CDMA, W-CDMA, TD-SCDMA, TDD LTE & FDD LTE. Detailed unit shipment data is included for the following OEMs: Datang, Ericsson, Fujitsu, Huawei Technologies, NEC, Nokia Networks, Samsung, and ZTE.
The global macrocell base transmitting station (BTS) transceiver (TRx) market grew by 31% in units in 2015 and marked a third year of record shipments, according to the latest report from EJL Wireless Research titled Global Macrocell BTS Transceiver Market Analysis and Forecast, 12th Edition, 2016-2020. Last year marked the peak of the most recent cycle of LTE spending, driven by China. As expected, Huawei remained the world's leading supplier however ZTE, for the first time, was able to move up to second in our market share rankings due to the demand in China. This marks the first time in the wireless industry that both Chinese suppliers are at the top of the market share globally, says founder and President, Earl Lum. The report provides a unique perspective on the global shipments and demand for base station radio transceiver equipment covering all air interface standards and frequencies and major OEMs including Ericsson, Huawei Technologies, Nokia Networks, Samsung Electronics, and ZTE.
Some key and notable facts from the analysis include:
- LTE technology captured 88% of total shipments, up from 74% in 2014
- Overall LTE shipments increased by 55% year over year
- TDD-LTE shipments were 50% of total LTE shipments, down from 54% in 2014
- Chinese vendors captured 72% of total market shipments, up from 62% in 2014
Some key predictions for 2016:
- Global Macrocell BTS TRx shipments are expected to decline by 33%
- Global Macrocell BTS LTE TRx shipments are expected to decline by 32%
- Global Macrocell BTS W-CDMA/HSPA TRx shipments are expected to decline by 38%
- Global Macrocell BTS CDMA TRx shipments are expected to reach zero by 2019
- Global Macrocell BTS GSM/EDGE TRx shipments are expected to decline by 39%
