Over the air testing
The global over-the-air (OTA) testing market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 10.30% over the forecast period i.e. 2019-2027. It is mandatory for companies to comply with OTA testing to get cellular telecommunications and internet association (CTIA) certification.
With growing technological advancements such as 5G, IoT and automation, increased penetration of the internet of things (IoT) and machine to machine (M2M) devices, the global over-the-air (OTA) testing market is expected to grow considerably. Additionally, smart cities will have a more connected physical infrastructure as compared to conventional cities, thereby driving the need for OTA testing.
Regionally, the global over-the-air (OTA) testing market is segmented into five major regions including North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America and Middle East & Africa, out of which, the market in North America holds the highest market share due to increased government spending on IOT and connected devices. On the back of highest use of telecommunication devices like laptops, tablets, and smartphones coupled with high rate of urbanization and strong economic growth in Asia Pacific, the market is estimated to witness the highest growth rate.
Smart cities are estimated to significantly increase the number of wireless and smart connected devices. This significant increase is estimated to drive the demand for OTA testing of wireless devices to meet the industry standards and facilitate assessment of antennas and receiver performance.
