Global Wireless Testing Market Analysis By Offering

• Equipment
• Services

There are two sorts of wireless testing services available: in-house and outsourced. Wireless testing services are largely used to assess product quality and safety to convince consumers that a manufacturer has followed national and international rules and industry standards to ensure product quality, environmental protection, and public health and safety. They also verify that the items they test are safe to use, long-lasting, and meet all performance requirements. The need for wireless testing services has exploded since it is necessary to test items before they are deployed to ensure their quality.

Global Wireless Testing Market Analysis By Technology

• Bluetooth
• WLAN
• GPS
• GNSS
• 2G/3G/5G
• Wi-Fi technologies

The market is segmented into Bluetooth, WLAN, GPS, GNSS, 2G/3G/5G, and Wi-Fi technologies.

With the largest market share, the Bluetooth category dominated the wireless testing industry. Bluetooth allows a wide range of electronic devices, including phones, computers, and medical devices, to communicate with one another. It connects devices over short distances of up to 100 meters, reducing wire connections between them. Bluetooth uses short-wavelength ultra-high-frequency radio waves to communicate data between two devices, according to the IEEE 802.15.1 Wireless Networking Standard.

The main purpose of Wi-Fi testing is to determine the transmitting power or the sensitivity of receivers. Data and voice transfer are both possible with 2G. Improved data transfer rates and voice-carrying capability are available with 3G. 5G is predicted to result in a considerable increase in data transfer, as well as an increase in the number of network-related concerns for end-users. Because 5G communication has enhanced properties, 5G mobile networks are predicted to be the next communications standards.

Global Wireless Testing Market Analysis By Application

• Consumer Electronics
• Automotive
• IT & Telecommunication
• Medical Devices
• Aerospace and Defence

The market is segmented into Consumer Electronics, Automotive, IT and telecommunication, Medical Devices, and Aerospace and defense. Consumer electronics will be the fastest-growing application in the wireless testing market throughout the forecast period. Wireless testing is crucial in the consumer electronics industry. Furthermore, every consumer electronic product must be rigorously examined for operation, safety, and performance before commercialization. Testing services providers evaluate various wireless technologies that are used in consumer devices, such as Bluetooth, cellular, near-field communication (NFC), and Wi-Fi. Laptops, tablets, smartphones, and wearables are elements of consumer electronics.

REGIONAL ANALYSIS

• North America
• Europe
• Asia-Pacific
• Latin America
• Middle East and Africa

Between 2021 and 2026, APAC will have the fastest market growth in wireless testing. The expansion of the market in APAC is primarily driven by the region's growing smartphone market. In terms of the adoption of new technologies across many industries, APAC is undergoing rapid development. The Internet of Things (IoT) and machine-to-machine (M2M) are projected to benefit greatly from 5G technology. Due to increased spending by mobile operators and a fast-rising mobile user base, China, Japan, and India are emerging as high-growth countries in the wireless testing industry. The implementation of 4G/LTE networks in Japan has increased the demand for wireless network testing.

Europe holds the largest market share of the global wireless testing industry, primarily owing to the presence of the leading players in the region. The development of 5G, WiFi, and Wireless Technology is the fastest in Europe. Hence, wireless testing has become a necessity in the continent. Since the integration of IoT in automobiles and consumer goods is in the advanced stages, it is boosting the wireless testing market in the continent. The countries in Western Europe have a larger consumer base than Eastern Europe because of advanced infrastructural development and higher per capita income.

The US market in the North American region is estimated to be worth $2.9 million. Canada is the second-fastest-growing market, with a CAGR of 5%. The Middle East is the most promising market in the LAMEA region, followed by Brazil and Argentina in South America. The African countries are still in the nascent stage of deploying 5G and Wireless technology and, hence, are far behind in the global wireless testing market.
