Distributed Antenna Services Market Industry Segmentation
This section provides an analysis of the key trends in each segment of the global distributed antenna services market report, along with forecasts at the global, regional, and country levels for 2025-2033.
The Indoor Segment is Expected to Witness a Higher CAGR than the Distributed Antenna Services Market.
Based on coverage, the market is segmented into indoor and outdoor. The indoor coverage segment grabbed the major market share and dominated the market in 2024. Moreover, it is expected that this segment will grab a considerable market share in the forthcoming years as well, owing to the rising demand from consumers for continuous connectivity.
The Services Segment Holds the Largest Share of the Market.
Based on offering, the market is segmented into components and services (Pre-sales, installation services, and post-sales). During the forecast period, the services market is expected to hold most of the market owing to high capital expenditure in the installation and maintenance in both the outdoor and indoor markets. The high cost of the solution, rising with an advanced solution, is one of the major restraints for the market, as it makes solutions unaffordable for the customers, resulting in signal booster technology being adopted. The market share of DAS is getting hampered by the signal booster, indoor system technologies, and others, owing to the high cost of DAS technology.
APAC has a significant share of the market in 2024.
The Asia Pacific grabbed the major market share and dominated the market in 2024. This is mainly due to countries like China and India. India has the largest number of smartphone users globally, followed by China. Also, China is investing heavily in areas such as AR/VR, autonomous driving, and the traffic per smartphone present for distributed antenna systems (DAS). Japan is expected to hold the second position due to the completion of 5G trials in countries with growing smart infrastructural building with AI, and demand from sports, enterprises, and others is driving the growth. Also, the cost of smartphones and data packs is lowest in the world. The rise in the number of subscribers of cellular networks has propelled the need for increasing macrocell deployments. It is becoming difficult for mobile service providers to offer seamless coverage via existing macrocell base stations. According to the Cisco Visual Networking Index, global mobile devices and connections are projected to increase in the forecast period. As the number of mobile devices with advanced computing and multimedia capabilities is increasing, the demand for more capable and intelligent networks is simultaneously growing.
China Dominates the APAC Distributed Antenna Services Market
The DAS market in China experiences rapid development as the country advances its telecom infrastructure at high speed and sets a strong focus on digital transformation along with smart city development. The strong indoor wireless requirements generated by urbanization, along with high-rise developments, make DAS implementation a strategic mandate for commercial and industrial, and transportation spaces. Chinese enterprises and municipalities speed up the deployment of DAS systems because 5G advances and IoT integration require reliable, high-quality connectivity in public and private areas.
