OYSTER BAY, N.Y., March 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Major wireless base station manufacturers 1998 market share according to ABI: Lucent held close to 33 percent of the market, Nortel and Ericsson 20 percent, Motorola 12 percent, Qualcomm 7 percent and Nokia 4 percent.
Despite the recent slow down in many foreign markets during 1998, infrastructure sales will remain strong during the next five years. Although the market may not be as robust as all would like, it is a sizable market that will continue to grow.
"There is little which can impede the growth of wireless," said ABI senior wireless analyst Larry Swasey. "The addition of data services allowing sizable pieces of information to travel over wireless networks at expected speeds of 144 kbps and up will further utilization and expectations of wireless networks." Voice will remain the strongest part of a wireless operator's pie, however, Swasey said.
Wireless subscribers will continue to grow at a rapid pace, with a 17 percent compounded annual average growth rate (CAAG) through 2003 leading to 667 million subs signed on by year-end 2003.
To keep up with the growing subscriber base, infrastructure will be added accordingly, with 2.5 million base stations deployed by year-end 2003, representing 21 percent CAAG.
With the growth of infrastructure, there will be a parallel growth in the DSP market for base stations, with an average of 6 million units per year being placed into infrastructure from 1999 to 2003.
There may be some bumps in the road, such as downsized economies, health concerns becoming more widespread, and the indication we may be seeing a reversal of fortune in court-ordered siting decisions in important markets such as the US.
All in all, however, even if these concerns become true, the short term effect will not be felt and the powerful infrastructure industry will prevail for at least the next five years. Mobile telephony is not considered a luxury anymore, as the past two years of explosive growth in digital technologies have proven a boon to the market.
