The high demand for data and lower latency from applications such as video streaming, financial trading, Internet of Things (IoT), connected cars, Big Data, and data analytics is requiring advancements in network devices and infrastructure.
The Test and Measurement (T&M) market in communications is thus, driven by the need to test and validate the performance of the communication infrastructure throughout various phases of the product lifecycle, across different end users. While the common goal is to provide enhanced customer experience, different end users—Network Equipment Manufacturers (NEMs), service providers, chipset suppliers, and enterprises have different objectives to achieve. Hence, the demand for test and measurement solutions vary significantly from each end user. Even within each end-user segment, the requirement for T&M solutions varies based on the application—Research and Development (R&D), manufacturing, installation, and maintenance and monitoring—as development and deployment demands vary. This research service, focuses on understanding the market dynamics from an end-user perspective.
Research Scope
The study provides the market size for T&M solutions in for all communication end users and further provides forecast revenue from an application perspective. It also analyzes the impact of Mega Trends, identifies key growth opportunities, and recommends actions for the market participants to capitalize on the situation. The base year for the study is 2017 and the revenue forecast is up to 2022. This study also highlights and explains each key market driver and restraint, in addition to providing an assessment of competitive factors. The end-user segments analyzed in the research service are:
- Network Equipment Manufacturers
- Service Providers (SPs)
- Enterprises
- Chipset Suppliers
- Others
Each end-user segment has been extensively analyzed to determine the key market metrics, trends, 2017 market size, and forecast. The segments are also further analyzed based on different applications. Additionally, the study also features a market share analysis section that provides an understanding of the market concentration and top market participants within each end-user segment.
