What Are The Core Factors Supporting Growth In The Mobile And Wireless Backhaul Market?
The rise in the number of mobile subscribers is a vital trend making waves in the mobile and wireless backhaul sectors. The surge in smartphone use and improved connectivity contributes to a growing global mobile internet user base. Internet access worldwide has gotten better, leading to increased mobile data traffic. As mobile data traffic picks up speed, network bandwidth demand has steeply risen. To meet this high-capacity demand and deliver superior services, mobile carriers need to revise their data transmission techniques. For instance, as per the 2022 report by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC), a governmental body in Canada, the Canadian telecom industry recorded a 3.5% total revenue rise in 2022, emulating the prior year's 3.4% growth. Retail telecom service earnings climbed by 3.4% to hit $53.1 billion. This growth was primarily fueled by an approximate $1.7 billion surge in mobile revenues, which retained their leading position in the industry by making up 55.5% of total earnings. Therefore, the uptick in mobile subscriber numbers is propelling the expansion of the mobile and wireless backhaul markets.
