Low Power Wide Area (LPWA) Network Market
The Global market for Low Power Wide Area Network is forecast to reach $2.5 billion by 2026, growing at a CAGR of 12.7% from 2021 to 2026. The market growth is attributed to the factors such as increased adoption of IoT, M2M systems, increased need for long-range connectivity between these systems, rising penetration of 5G and other wireless technology and others. Moreover, the exponential growth in smart city infrastructure is expected to stimulate development in the market.
Owing to the introduction of cloud-based technologies, demand for the financial analytics system is growing. Cloud driven technologies support stable data management and produce result-oriented production. However, these programs improve the efficiency of the business by upgrading details in real-time. The rising deployment of Narrowband IOT and Sigfox technologies in Wireless Sensor Networks will also propel the market growth.
Report Coverage
Key Takeaways
- Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) is quickly evolving as a game-changer in IOT applications, particularly for NB-IOT assessing most of the cellular network's limitations (e.g., high power, coverage gaps). LPWAN has specific features that render it especially appealing for the rising number of implementations around numerous industries, including infrastructure, logistics and transport, agriculture and smart cities.
- North America region dominated the global Low Power Wide Area Network market in 2020 owing to the presence of advanced technologies, large number of manufacturers and the increasing demands for better connectivity network.
Low Power Wide Area Network Market Segment Analysis - By Technology type
NB-IoT technology type segment is anticipated to hold the highest growth rate at 15.1% during the forecast period 2021-2026. The increasing ecosystem of the IoT network will create demand for networks that can provide access to IoT devices that need low latency and low data transmission speeds, such as smart water metres. NB-IoT technology increases the power efficiency of these instruments and satisfies the challenging specifications for coverage.
NB-IoT is perceived to be the potentially less costly alternative, since it avoids the need for a gateway. Usually, most infrastructures provide gateways that collect sensor data and then connect with the main server. Sensor data is therefore sent directly to the primary server with NB-IoT. Huawei, Ericsson, Qualcomm and Vodafone are all aggressively involved in commercial NB-IoT technologies.
Low Power Wide Area Network Market Segment Analysis - By Deployment Model
Cloud deployment model held the highest market share of Low Power Wide Area Network in 2020 at 53% share. Moreover, it is anticipated to witness the significant market growth during the forecast period 2021-2026. Customers choose cloud services for fast integration of the IoT and wireless networks. Enterprises can significantly reduce the timeline for deployment by following the cloud deployment model and handling cloud-enabled LPWAN servers and gateways with ease.
LPWAN businesses also offer cloud services that allow consumers to easily access IoT sensor-generated data and allow service providers to control the LPWA network. In June 2018, The Occam Technology Group partnered with Google Cloud to offer LoRaWAN's OccamSmart Network Server Stack running on the Google Cloud Platform. In this way, companies minimise costs and deploy LoRaWAN communities within the global framework of Google Cloud. Such product developments enhance the market growth.
Low Power Wide Area Network Market Segment Analysis - By Geography
North America region held the highest market growth in 2020 at 37%. The market growth is attributed to the factors such as technological advancements, increasing demand for energy efficient devices and increasing demand for high speed communication in the region. The region also has a well-established infrastructure which allows easy implementation of advanced technologies and provides better connectivity.
North America, which has prominently taken the lead on various technological developments such as smart homes, smart cities, Internet of Things (IoT), big data and consumer electronics; has emerged as the nucleus for Low Power Wide Area Network market demand. Moreover, APAC region is anticipated to witness the significant market growth during the forecast period 2021-2026. The market growth is owing to growing digitization, industrialisation technological developments, growing data centres and others.
Digitization provides fresh opportunities for exploiting emerging technology and adapting quickly to developments in the industry, with network infrastructure serving a significant role. Furthermore, the introduction of Industry 4.0 technologies fuel the growth of IOT smart technology frameworks which in turn drives the market growth of LPWAN.
