Small Cell Market by Type (Picocell, Femtocell, Microcell), by Services (Installation/Integration, Network Planning, Maintenance & Support, by Operating Environment (Indoor, Outdoor), & by Verticals & Regions - Market Forecasts and Analysis (2014-2019)

Small cells are small compact-form systems used for extending mobile network coverage and capacity for indoor as well as outdoor environment. Small cells are deployed in those places where the network coverage is non-existent, poor, or the periodical spiking in mobile traffic leads to network congestion. Small cells support 2G, 3G, and Long-Term Evolution (LTE) communication technologies with the integration of Wi-Fi technology to enhance voice and data services offered by the mobile network operator.
Driving factors for the small cell market is the increasing number of smart devices, such as mobile phones and tablets, and the increasing number of data-intensive applications used in these smart devices, is leading to spectrum congestion and poor quality of service and the reduction in network coverage by macro cells due to large number of buildings in high-density urban areas.
The major restraint encountered in this market is the issue of providing backhaul support for the deployed small cell.
There are various assumptions that we have taken into consideration for market sizing and forecasting exercise. Few global assumptions include political, economic, social, technological, and economic factors. For instance, exchange rates, one of the economic factors, are expected to have a moderate rate of impact on this market. Therefore, dollar fluctuations are expected to not seriously affect the forecasts in the emerging Asia-Pacific regions.
