Description

According to this study, the global Open vRAN market size will reach US$ 719 million by 2031.

vRAN deployment uses ready-made hardware to install DU and CU, but proprietary interfaces and software from a single vendor can still be used. OpenRAN is defined by an open interface that allows multiple vendors to provide software and hardware for RAN, but OpenRAN is not necessarily virtualized. Open vRAN combines the advantages of both - complete virtualization and compliance with open interfaces.

The main market drivers include:

Technology evolution and cost optimization

Virtualization technology maturity: NFV (network function virtualization) decouples RAN software from hardware, reducing CAPEX by 40% and OPEX by 30%.

General hardware popularization: x86 server performance improvement, combined with DPU acceleration, meets the real-time requirements of vRAN.

Operator demand upgrade

Network flexibility: Open architecture supports on-demand capacity expansion, shortening the launch cycle of new services to several weeks.

TCO optimization: Rakuten Mobile case shows that vRAN reduces the cost per user to 60% of traditional networks.

Policy and standard promotion

O-RAN Alliance: 80% of global operators have joined, promoting interface standardization and promoting a multi-vendor ecosystem.

US RDO Act: Requires 5G networks supported by federal funds to adopt an open architecture to accelerate vRAN deployment.

Industry digital transformation

Vertical industry demand: The demand for low-latency, high-reliability private networks in manufacturing, medical, energy and other fields has surged, and vRAN supports network slicing and edge computing integration.

Metaverse and XR: bandwidth is required to increase 10 times, and vRAN dynamic spectrum sharing technology meets the explosive traffic demand.

Geopolitics and supply chain security

De-Huawei: Some countries require operators to divest Huawei equipment, and vRAN provides multi-vendor alternatives.

Localized production: India, Brazil and other countries promote local manufacturing of vRAN equipment to reduce dependence on imports.

The open vRAN market is experiencing a leap from "technology verification" to "large-scale commercial use", and technology evolution, operator transformation and policy promotion have formed a resonance. Enterprises need to focus on hardware acceleration, AI integration and ecosystem construction to seize the strategic heights of 5G private networks, edge computing and 6G innovation, and reshape the global communications industry landscape.
