The global distributed antenna systems market size was valued at USD 6.67 billion in 2018 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.4% from 2019 to 2025. Rising need for faster data transmission has fueled the demand for the DAS market. The benefits provided by DAS include efficient data services, fewer coverage holes, and enhanced coverage using less power. Furthermore, the system also aid in improving the cellular capacity of mobile phones, Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs), security applications, Wi-Fi, and in-building coverage, thereby supporting the growth.
Increasing number of smartphone users has propelled the need for efficient cellular network coverage, which has, in turn, resulted in the proliferation of the market. The capability of these systems to support multiple operators coupled with interconnectivity with other antenna modules is another factor aiding market growth.
Increasing wireless data usage has also led to various challenges associated with coverage and carrier capacity. To overcome this, cellular service providers are focusing on providing cost-effective and advanced services to subscribers using data-intensive applications, such as video and audio streaming. This is expected to drive the deployment of DAS. Additionally, on account of this high data usage, small-cell networks have become essential for providing the requisite capacity and coverage. Service providers are opting for distributed antenna systems to create the small cells they need as part of their outdoor network plans.
Although the technology has been around for more than a decade, the need to meet increasing bandwidth requirements with fewer assets is expected to continue driving innovation in distributed antenna system as well as optical networks industry. The technology not only addresses the need for small cell delivery but also manages efficient small-cell backhaul. Mobile service providers are keen on implementing the latest DAS and fiber technologies to create cost-effective deployments, which is subsequently expected to drive the market over the forecast period.
The hybrid DAS segment accounted for over 45.0% of the overall market in 2018 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The segment is expected to witness significant growth as it offers efficient data connectivity during the unusual or fluctuating signal problem. Moreover, these systems have minimal design and installation time, which is a primary factor expected to drive the segment growth over the forecast period. Hybrid DAS is widely preferred among users because of its enhanced coverage and economical cost compared to other DAS technologies.
The active DAS segment is expected to grow at a substantial rate over the forecast period. The system delivers reliable and consistent signals at every antenna and also supports Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) alarms. However, the high installation and maintenance costs may hamper the growth to an extent.
The public venues and safety segment captured over 25.0% of the overall distributed antenna systems market share in 2018 and is anticipated to expand at a CAGR around 15.0% from 2018 to 2025. The consistent rise in the level of construction activities in commercial infrastructure is a key factor affecting the growth. Public venues include conference and convention centers, shopping malls, theaters, and fair grounds, where patrons and employees expect to have a seamless mobile data experience. The use of DAS in this application will result in eradicating poor wireless coverage and enabling higher data output for both customers and employees.
Distributed antenna systems are also witnessing significant adoption in the healthcare sector. Consumers in this sector are highly dependent on efficient data connectivity to perform their daily activities. Doctors or staff require fully-integrated systems to improve their operational efficiency and enhance their productivity. Additionally, distributed antenna systems in the healthcare sector offer enhanced data connectivity to visitors and staff, which aids in eliminating poor wireless coverage between buildings, reduces interference, and maintains improved signal and coverage quality.
The neutral-host ownership segment led the market in 2018 and is expected to expand at a CAGR exceeding 14.0% over the forecast period. The neutral-host ownership model provides numerous benefits where the funding is initiated by third-party system integrators. These system integrators, in cooperation with multiple carriers, form a group to install DAS.
Moreover, the host company obtains exclusive rights to the system, and the end-user receives a multicarrier DAS. The neutral-host ownership provides numerous benefits including improved coverage and quality of service, increased capacity, capital cost reduction, and improved speed to market for service providers.
Meanwhile, the carrier ownership segment is anticipated to witness significant growth over the forecast period, attributed to rising demand for bandwidth in various consumer electronics products. On the other hand, the enterprise ownership segment is anticipated to expand at a moderate CAGR over the forecast period.
North America captured more than 30.0% of the overall market share in 2018 and is also expected to expand at a considerable CAGR over the forecast period. This growth is attributed to the rising trend of Bring Your Own Devices (BYOD) along with the development of smart cities. Additionally, increasing use of smartphones and ever-growing wireless traffic are expected to further drive the regional expansion.
Meanwhile, the Asia Pacific DAS market is expected to register at a CAGR exceeding 14.0% over the forecast period. Increasing infrastructural growth in India and China can be accredited to regional growth. Additionally, the rising deployment of 4G/LTE connections along with the substantial presence of DAS providers is further contributing to the growth. Therefore, the deployment of 4G/LTE technologies and infrastructural growth offers numerous opportunities for the deployment of the DAS solution. On the other hand, growth in Europe is majorly driven by increasing public venues and safety, healthcare, and industrial sector.
